The Effect of Annealing Temperatures on Structural Properties of Cu2O Nanoparticles

In this study, the effect of annealing temperature on material properties and structural cuprous oxide was studied in order to investigate how affects properties, varied between 200℃, 300℃, 400℃ 500 ℃ unannealed. The physical were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD patterns showed that Cu2O nanoparticles highly pure, crystalline, nano-sized. From results, we found pure cuprite (Cu2O) phase. values crystal size discovered calculated Halder-Wagner Size-Strain Plot (SSP) methods, respectively. crystallite increased as increased. As a result, it has significant impact morphological aspects. calculate microstructural parameters such internal strain, dislocation density, surface area, consequently number unit cells, sample taken into consideration.
