Cu nanostructures with different shapes were synthesized via a simple reduction approach from CuO nanoleaves at room temperature. The purity and morphology of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. By changing the dosage of reducing agent, Cu flowers and Cu octahedral cages were obtained successfully. The growth mechanism of morphology evolvement to different shaped Cu nanostructures is discussed. Thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) results illuminated that Cu flowers sample has relatively higher activity to oxygen in air atmosphere compared to Cu octahedral cages. A well-defined, stable and fast amperometric response of glucose was observed when the Cu nanostructures were constructed as nonenzymatic glucose sensors. The Cu flowers modified electrode has higher sensitivity than Cu octahedral cages modified one. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
