ZnO-CuO nanocomposite thin films were prepared by carbothermal evaporation of ZnO and Cu, combined with annealing. The effects of 90 MeV Ni(7+) ion irradiation on the structural and optical properties of ZnO-CuO nanocomposites were studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. XRD studies...

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 na...

Copper oxide and Zinc (Zn)-doped nanostructures (CuO-NSs) are successfully synthesized by using a hydrothermal technique. The as-obtained pure Zn-doped CuO-NSs were tested to study the effect of doping in CuO on structural, optical, antibacterial properties. band gap is calculated Tauc plot.

Zinc oxide (ZnO, n-type) and copper oxide (CuO, p-type) nanowires have been synthesized and preliminarily investigated as innovative materials for the fabrication of a proof-of-concept thermoelectric device. The Seebeck coefficients, electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factors (TPF) of both semiconductor materials have been determined independently using a custom experimental set-u...

Diverse mesoporous CuO nanostructures have been prepared by a facile and scaleable wet-chemical method and reduced to mesoporous Cu nanostructures by using the reductant ammonia borane (AB). These mesoporous Cu nanostructures have been applied as a catalyst for hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of AB. The catalytic results show that the reaction rate and the amount of hydrogen evolution...

In this paper we report a facile route for the synthesis of controlled CuO nanoarchitectures directly grown on a copper substrate by a one-step simple chemical route with varying concentration of non-ionic surfactant PEG-6K. The phase purity and degree of crystallinity of the as-developed nanostructures were systemically investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and hi...

The production of a nanomaterial with enhanced and desirable electrocatalytic properties is of prime importance, and the commercialization of devices containing these materials is a challenging task. In this study, unique cupric oxide (CuO) nanostructures were synthesized using lysine as a soft template for the evolution of morphology via a rapid and boiled hydrothermal method. The morphology a...

In this work, three different spherulitic nanostructures Cu-CuOA, Cu-CuOB, and Cu-CuOC were synthesized in water-in-oil microemulsions by varying the surfactant concentration (30 mM, 40 mM, and 50 mM, respectively). The structural and morphological characteristics of the Cu-CuO nanostructures were investigated by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron mi...

Porous Cu/C composites and CuO nanostructures can be easily synthesized from coordination precursors between Cu(2+) and glycine, which are obtained simply by adding ethanol as a poor solvent into a Cu(2+) and glycine solution, and verified to be potential antibacterial agents and photocatalysts.
