Abstract

This study reports a successful solvothermal approach to synthesize copper nitride (Cu3N) nanocubes. Magnetic measurements indicate that the fabricated Cu3N nanocubes exhibit room temperature ferromagnetism and excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and nitrobenzene reduction (NBR).
