Ultrathin copper oxide (CuO) nanorods with diameters of ∼3.6 nm were obtained in one step using oleylamine (OAm) as both the solvent and the surface controller. The oriented attachment is responsible for the formation of the ultrathin CuO nanorods. Furthermore, this ultrathin nanostructure catalyst exhibited excellent activity and high styrene oxide yields in styrene epoxidation.

in this work, copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via extractive rosmarinus officinalis leaves by simple and economic co-precipitation method at ambient conditions which it has used (ch3coo)2cu+h2o individually as cu sources. it was found that uniform copper oxide nanoparticles have been successfully produced at various temperature, namely 400, 600, and 800 0c. powder x-ray diffrac...

In this research, novel conductive nanocomposites containing urethane acrylate (UA) andpolyaniline/copper (II) oxide nanocomposites (PANi-CuO) were synthesized. At firstpolyaniline/CuO nanocomposites with different amount of CuOnanoparticleswere prepared bychemical oxidationpolymerization of aniline using ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidizingagent. Afterward, UA-PANi-...

Copper oxide supported on γ-alumina nanoparticles were prepared and were well characterized. In this study catalytic activities of the supported copper oxide for oxidation of cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexene-1-ol, 2-cyclohexene-1-one and cyclohexene oxide with TBHP and H2O2 as the oxidant, in the liquid phase were considered. For the CuO/γalumina nanocomposites, acetonitrile as the solvent was empl...

Copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NP) are widely used in industry and medicine. In our study we evaluated the response of BEAS-2B human lung cells to CuO NP, using Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics. Pathway modeling of the protein differential expression showed that CuO NP affect proteins relevant in cellular function and ...

BACKGROUND The detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrite ion (NO2-) is of great important in various fields including clinic, food, pharmaceutical and environmental analyses. Compared with many methods that have been developed for the determination of them, the electrochemical detection method has attracted much attention. In recent years, with the development of nanotechnology, many ki...

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and electrical measurements were used to elucidate the local structure and electronic changes of copper(II) oxide (CuO) nanostructures under working conditions. For this purpose, a sample holder layout was developed enabling the simultaneous analysis of the spectroscopic and electrical properties of the sensor material under identical operating condi...

Metal oxide nanoparticles, such as copper oxide (CuO), are mass produced for use in a variety of products like coatings and ceramics. Acute exposure to CuO nanoparticles has caused toxicity to many aquatic organisms, yet there is no information on the effect of prolonged CuO nanomaterial exposures. This study examined effects of chronic exposure to CuO nanoparticles on Xenopus laevis growth and...
