摘要：
An unexpected surface phenomenon where H2O reduces Cu2O is observed, which is contrary to the bulk thermochemical data. The possible artifacts for Cu2O reduction in wet oxidizing conditions was examined, by considering electron-beam effect, carbon contamination and residual gases and conclude that it is unlikely that these play a role in the surprising reduction of copper oxide by water vapor. The interfacial and surface energies that explain the discrepancy between bulk thermochemical data and experimental observations were speculated.
