Abstract We propose a simple method for fabricating porous CuO, which is elementally abundant, nontoxic, environmentally stable, and a good electrochemical performing material, and easily controlling pore size by using a mixture of Cu precursor and polystyrene solutions followed by heat treatment, which we named polymer-confined direct solution pyrolysis (PDSP). We mixed an ionized metal solution and polymer template with different molecular weights, and then burned out the polymer template in air. The fabrication technique and application of nanoporous CuO produced by PDSP are presented herein. The applications studied were metal oxides for nanoenergetic materials and a non-enzyme glucose sensor.
