Abstract

Laser induced selective photothermochemical reduction is demonstrated to locally and reversibly control the oxidation state of Cu and Cu oxide nanowires in ambient conditions without any inert gas environment. This new concept of "nanorecycling" can monolithically integrate Cu and Cu oxide nanowires by restoring oxidized Cu, considered unusable for the electrode, back to a metallic state for repetitive reuse.
