A new level of programmability and freedom in directing the crystal growth of cuprous oxide was demonstrated by controlling the degree of branching and crystal habit in a systematic manner during electrodeposition. Examples of Cu 2 O crystals in which these features were directed by rationally designing a growth condition and growth history are shown (scale bar=1 μm).
