Copper can form three types of oxides namely: cuprite (Cu2O), tenorite (CuO) and paramelaconite (Cu4O3) [ 2 ]. Two stable phases are cuprite and tenorite, which are a p-type semiconductors. Their properties are consistent with a structural model based on the presence of cation vacancies as the predominant ionic defects [ 5 ].
