Abstract

An in situ strategy has been developed to directly grow Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the surfaces of Cu₂O nanocubes by exposing Cu₂O nanocubes to diluted HAuCl₄ solution at room temperature. The sensing performances of the Cu₂O nanocubes toward ethanol and acetone improved significantly after the growth of the Au NPs.
