abstract

cupric oxide nanostructures were synthesized via a simple reaction between copper nitrate and sodium hydroxide using a sonochemical-assisted method. the synthesized cuo was then characterized using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy. our studies show that the cuo nanostructure can be used as a humidity sensor with a short response time (about 6 sec) and a long recovery time (up to 650 sec). variation of relative sensor impedance (defined as sensing) at relative humidity of 90% was measured to be about 80, which indicates a high sensing of our designed sensor.

synthesis of copper (ii) oxide (cuo) nanoparticles and its application as gas sensor

copper sulfate was used as a precursor to prepare cuo nanoparticles in reverse micelles (o/w microemulsion).  this is a technique which allows the preparation of ultrafine metal oxide nanoparticles within the size ranging from 50 to 60 nm. the preparation of nano copper (ii) oxide studied was investigated in the inverse microemulsion system. therefore the nucleation of metal particles proceeds ...

Sonochemical assisted synthesis of SrFe12O19 nanoparticles.

We present the synthesis of M-type strontium hexaferrite by sonochemistry and annealing. The effects of the sonication time and thermal energy on the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the obtained powders are presented. Strontium hexagonal ferrite (SrFe12O19) was successfully prepared by the ultrasonic cavitation (sonochemistry) of a complexed polyol solution of metallic acetates and...

Sonochemical Synthesis of Ca(OH)2 Nanoparticles and Its Application in Preparation of MWCNT-Paraloid Nanocomposite

In this work at the first step calcium hydroxide nano-particles were synthesized via sono-chemical method at room temperature. At the second step aminated multi-walled carbon nano-tubes was prepared via chemical modification of surfaces of CNT. Finally modified-MWCNT and Ca(OH)2 were added to paraloid matrix by aid of ultrasonic irradiation. Paraloid-modified-MWCNT-Ca(OH)2...

Synthesis and Characterization of Tin Oxide as Humidity Sensor

The bulk SnO2 was synthesized by oxidizing the fine powder (50 mesh) of metallic tin (purity 99.99, Aldrich) powder at 750°C for 9 hrs hours in programmable temperature controlled furnace. The gross structure and phase purity of the powder sample ground from sintered pellets were examined by powder X-ray diffraction technique. The phase identification /gross structural characteristics of synthe...

Microwave-assisted synthesis of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles

This paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. For more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...
