Abstract: Flowerlike CuO microspheres have been successfully synthesized based on the microwave-assisted solution-based method by the reaction of CuSO4 and NH3·H2O. The microspheres are made of nanoplates with oriented attachment. With the introduction of the different amount of NH3·H2O, different copper source, the morphology transformed from micro-sphere to roselike, dandelionlike microcrystals. The size of these microcrystals can be well controlled. The possible formation mechanism for the CuO flowerlike microspheres has also been proposed.
