Room temperature synthesis of curved ammonium copper molybdate nanoflake and its hierarchical architecture

A new strategy was developed to synthesize curved ammonium copper molybdate nanoflakes on a copper surface by using a novel solution-phase approach at room temperature. The curved ammonium copper molybdate nanoflakes grow directly on the conducting copper substrate with good electrical contact and in addition using glucose as an additive to control the nucleation and growth process can lead to hierarchical sphere-like architecture.
