Room temperature hydrophilic ionic liquids, 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium salts containing ethyl-sulfate anions, have dramatic effects on the morphology changes of electrochemically grown Cu 2 O crystals at room temperature in aqueous solutions. The shape of Cu 2 O crystals evolves from cubic to octahedral and spherical shape only by adding a varied small amount of the ionic liquids in the deposited solutions. The possible mechanism has been explored, and the ethyl-sulfate anion is believed to play a key role in the morphology control.
