Hierarchically macro/mesostructured porous copper oxide: facile synthesis, characterization, catalytic performance and electrochemical study of mesoporous copper oxide monoliths

Hierarchically macro/meso structured porous copper-oxide monoliths with and without additives (dextran, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and silica nanoparticles) were successfully synthesized via a facile sol–gel route.
