摘要

Nanometer-scale leaf-shaped copper oxide structures were synthesized on pure Cu foam using a low-temperature, eco-friendly hot water treatment (HWT) method at 75°C for 24 h. CuO nanostructures formed a binder-free electrode for electrochemical testing. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy analyzed the structure and composition, while X-ray diffraction confirmed the crystal structure of CuO. Electrochemical evaluations revealed a maximum specific capacitance of about 85.0 ± 10.1 F/g at 5 mV/s scan rate in 1 M Na2SO4, with a capacitance retention of 67% after 2000 cycles. These findings highlight the potential of CuO/Cu nanostructured foam for pseudo-supercapacitor applications.
