Critical and controversial issues pertaining to the growth and properties of Cu2O in the context of energy conversion

Cu2O has been deposited on m-, r-, and a-Al2O3 by reactive sputtering of Cu using Ar with different contents of O2 followed by annealing under carefully optimized conditions at 500 °C under Ar:H2 in order to prevent the oxidation and reduction of the Cu2O layers, which have a cubic crystal structure...
