Abstract/Summary:
Layered nanostructures of copper metal and cuprous oxide are electrodeposited from alkaline solutions of Cu(II) lactate at room temperature. The electrode potential oscillates spontaneously during constant-current deposition. The potential oscillations are attributed to the formation and breakdown of a rectifying Cu...
