Copper oxide nanowires (NWs) grown on copper to avoid the secondary electron emission were investigated. Optimal temperatures for NW growth were found to be in the range 700-800 K. NW surface coverage of 10~2 μm~(-2) is required to strongly reduce the secondary electron yield. A total secondary electron emission coefficient below 1 was obtained for NW aspect ratio higher than 10~3.
