Abstract: CuO nanocrystals were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis route. The chemical composition and crystal structure and morphology were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The effects of CTAB, KOH and sodium citrate were investigated, and a formation mechanism of CuO nanoplates was proposed. The optical properties of CuO nanoplates were studied by UV-vis absorption spectrum, moreover, CuO nanoflowers showed high ratio surface, which have potential for catalysis material.
