Novel cuprous oxide Cu2O core-shell nanospheres with diameter around 445 nm have been successfully fabricated by a facile, one-pot and template-free route. The synthesis of these nanospheres is accomplished through a hydrothermal reaction of cupric acetate with o-anisidine as the reducing agent. Bas...
