A Comparative Analysis of X-Ray Diffraction, Morphology, and Optical Properties of Sonochemically Synthesized Cupric Oxide Nanostructures

Untapped potential of scrap brass alloy: a new frontier in the use of brass-based photocathodes for stable and durable photoelectrochemical water splitting

“…This agrees well with the phase diagram of Cu–Zn alloy, which shows that Cu–Zn alloys exhibit a single α-phase below 35 wt% Zn, above which the intermetallic β-phase would be formed. 43 Two phases of copper oxide were formed upon anodization and annealing of 100Cu sample. It is also noted that as the concentration of Zn increases, the intensity of copper oxide peaks decreases, even though there were no distinct peaks for ZnO.…”
