Structural characterizations. The scale bars of ac and (g1i1) correspond to 1000 nm, that of (g2i2) correspond to 500 nm, and that of (g3h3) correspond to 2 nm. Representative SEM images of a Cu2O cubes, b Cu2O octahedral, and c Cu2O rhombic dodecahedra. d XRD patterns, e Cu LMM AES spectra measured without exposure to air, and f in situ DRIFTS spectra of CO adsorption at 123 K of Cu2O cubes (a1), octahedra (b1), rhombic dodecahedra (c1) and Cu cubes (a2), octahedra (b2) and rhombic dodecahedra (c2). Representative SEM, TEM and HRTEM images of (g1g3) Cu cubes, (h1h3) Cu octahedra and (i1i3) Cu rhombic dodecahedra. The insets in the HRTEM images show the ED patterns of corresponding Cu nanocrystals. The lattice fringes of 1.80 and 2.08 Å, respectively, correspond to the spacing of Cu{200} and {111} crystal planes (JCPDS card NO. 89-2838)
