Abstract Hollow double-layer CuO microtubes are fabricated by electroless deposition using root hairs of Syngonium podophyllum as biotemplates. It is a new efficient biotemplate for fabricating tubular microstructures because of its reproducible and eco-friendly characteristics. The fabricated microtubes showed unique double-layer structures and the thickness of tubular wall can be adjusted by controlling the deposition time. It was indicated that the microtubes comprised of pure monoclinic CuO with good crystallinity based on XRD and TEM analysis. Gas sensing investigation suggested the hollow double-layer CuO microtubes exhibited good gas sensing performance toward isopropanol (IPA).
