Abstract In this paper, hollow and porous Cu$_{2}$O nanoparticles were prepared by adjusting the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB) concentration in the solution-phase reaction. Structural investigations reveal that Cu$_{2}$O nanoparticles can be either well-defined hollow nanoboxes or porous nanocubes depending on the synthesis conditions. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations demonstrated that the nanoparticles in general are composed of small grains coherently growing along certain preferred orientations.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
