    Abstract

    A two-step solution method followed by a heat treatment process is developed for the the synthesis of novel nanoscale core/shell hetero-structures with CuO nanowires as the core and NiCo2O4 nanoneedles as the shell directly grown on copper foam. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to investigate and analyze the resulting hetero-structures. The results indicate that the secondary growth of NiCo2O4 nanoneedles around CuO nanowires leads to the formation of CuO/NiCo2O4 hetero-hierarchical core/shell nanowire arrays.
