The methodical and homogeneous shape evolution is achieved by tuning the degree of preferential adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the {111} faces of growing Cu2O crystals through pH variation.

For this space group (h00) reflections with h ≠ 2n are systematically absent. 17 Below 40 °C co-deposition of Cu2O and Cu occurs, forming Cu/Cu2O composite films. 18 K. H. Schulz, D. F. Cox, J.
