abstract

a facile mechanochemical-based method for synthesis of copper oxide (cuo) nanoparticles is here by introduced. for this purpose, copper hydroxide powder was synthesized through a facile solution method (cuso4 + 2 na(oh) → cu(oh)2 + na2so4) after which milling of as-prepared cu(oh)2 precursor and nacl resulted in the mechanochemical dehydration of cu(oh)2 and dispersion of cuo nanoparticles into the salt matrix (cu(oh)2+2nacl=cucl2+2naoh and then cucl2+2naoh=cuo+2nacl+h2o). subsequently, washing the milled powders led to the removal of salt matrix and separation of cuo particles. the main advantages of the introduced method are synthesis of cuo nanoparticles with narrow size distribution without subsequent annealing during the process. the results of x-ray diffraction (xrd) indicated that the dehydration of cu(oh)2 into cuo was completed after three hours of milling. structural analysis using scanning electron microscopy (sem) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (eds), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and particle size analyzer (psa) showed that cuo particles had moderately equiaxed shape with sizes ranging from 10-27 nm. also, the results of uv–visible absorption spectroscopy indicated that cuo nanoparticles had a band gap of 2.5 ev.

Biological Synthesis of Copper/copper Oxide Nanoparticles

Metal nanoparticles have gained significant interest in the past decade because of their unique physio-chemical properties which has a potential to be used in a wide range of applications. Recent efforts have gained success in synthesising nanoparticles with excellent shape and size control; however they are largely restricted to chemical methods. There is an increasing focus on eco-friendly ‘g...

Synthesis and characterization of Copper and Copper Oxide nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method

A simple method has been employed to synthesize Copper and Copper oxide nanoparticles from Copper (II) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. The particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The Synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visib...

Synthesis and Characterisation of Copper Oxide nanoparticles

Cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were prepared by the chemical route by calcinations at a higher temperature from 300 o C to 400 o C. For the comparison transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were made through JCPDS. There is good agreement between data produced by spectroscopy and the microscopic measurements.
