  3. Abstract:
  4. Nanowire arrays of copper oxide were first grown vertically using simple and cost effective thermal oxidation method on a copper foil. Subsequently, in order to deposit and grow PbS nanocyrstalline thin films on CuO NWs by utilizing the chemical bath deposition technique, these arrays were immersed as the substrate in the reaction solution consisting of Pb(NO3)2, (NH2)2CS and NaOH. The final products were characterized in detail by which the formation of uniform, unique arrays of CuO@PbS core–shell NWs was confirmed. Due to the nature of methods employed in synthesis of this hetero structure, the tuning of core and shell size and consequently properties of the novel structure is easily possible by changing synthesis parameters. © 2017 Elsevier B.V
