Cu2O nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of Schiff base copper (II) complex (1) as precursor. Liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. Span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. The nano structure of the complex was characterized by X-ray diffraction measurement...

Understanding the mechanism of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of molecules on semiconductor nanostructures is directly related to our capabilities of designing and optimizing new SERS-active substrates for broad applications in the field of molecular detection and characterization. Here, we present an exploration of using cuprous oxide nanostructures with hierarchical porosity for enh...

Hollow metal oxide nanocrystals were prepared by etching cuprous oxide with metal ions and were applied as photoelectrodes. As a hard template, polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized cuprous oxide (PVP-Cu2O) and non-stabilized cuprous oxide (nPVP-Cu2O) were synthesized by a precipitation method. Hollow iron oxide and cobalt oxide nanocrystals with a truncated octahedral morphology were fabricated by a...

Creatinine appears to alter the colour and bulky nature of the cuprous oxide precipitate not by altering the chemical composition of the precipitate but by the physical process of retardation of the growth of newly formed yellow cuprous oxide crystals to large red crystals by adhering to their surface and blocking some sites for further crystal growth.

We theoretically demonstrate the formation of multiple bi-stability regions in the temperature pattern on the interface between a cuprous oxide quantum well and DCM2:CA:PS organic compound. The Frenkel molecular exciton of the DCM2 is brought into resonance with the 1S quadrupole Wannier-Mott exciton in the cuprous oxide by ”solvatochromism” with CA. The resulting hybrid is thermalized with sur...

A glycine-mediated mixed-solvothermal approach has been proposed for the synthesis of novel Cu(2)O structures with different morphologies and the morphology effect on the antibacterial activity of the obtained Cu(2)O crystals has been studied, confirming that the obtained Cu(2)O crystals all show good antibacterial effects and that with the morphology of the Cu(2)O crystals changing from cubic ...

A cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin layer served as the base for a non-enzymatic glucose sensor in an alkaline medium, 0.1 NaOH solution, with a linear range of 50-200 mg/dL using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study confirmed the formation of the cuprous oxide layer on the thin gold film sensor prototype. Quantitative detection of glucose in...
