| description | Summary: The preparation technology of unconventional low-dimensional Cu2O monocrystals, which exhibit specific crystal planes and present significantly unique interfacial and physicochemical properties, is attracting increasing attention and interest. Herein, by integrating a high-temperature oxidation process under vacuum and a pure-water incubation process under ambient conditions, we propose the self-assembled growth and synthesis of quasi-two-dimensional Cu2O monocrystals on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) membranes. The prepared Cu2O crystals have a single (110) crystal plane, regular rectangular morphology, and potentially well conductivity. Experimental and theoretical results suggest that this assembly is attributed to the pre-nucleation clusters aggregation and directional attachment of Cu and O on the rGO membranes in aqueous environment and cation-π interactions between the (110) crystal plane of Cu2O and rGO surface. Our findings offer a potential avenue for the discovery and design of advanced low-dimensional single-crystal materials with specific interfacial properties in a pure aqueous environment. |
