Brief review of oxidation kinetics of copper at 350 °C to 1050 °C

Abstract: Copper's oxidation mechanism and purity effects were elucidated by oxidizing 99.99 pct (4N), 99.9999 pct (6N), and floating zone refined (Ͼ99.9999 pct) specimens in 0.1 MPa oxygen at 350 °C to 1050°C. Throughout the temperature range, the oxidation kinetics for all specimens obeys the parabolic oxidation rate law. The Cu 2 O scale grows predominantly, and the rate-determining step is concluded to be outward diffusion of copper atoms in Cu 2 O. The activation energy at high temperatures, where the lattice diffu… Show more

“…During the growth of CuO layer and CuO nanowires, Cu ions diffuse upward through the Cu 2 O layer 20 . Temperature has an important effect on the growth of CuO nanowires, the main diffusion way of Cu ion is grain boundary diffusion at the temperature of 400 °C 21 in this paper. In the process of grain boundary diffusion (Fig.…”

“…The kinetics of the metal oxidation can be described by many dependences, out of which is parabolic (Equation (11)), which is the most commonly recognized one, due to its simplicity, self-consistency and good correspondence to the experimental results [39]: w2kt where w stands for weight gain per surface unit, k is a parabolic rate constant of oxidation and t is time. The oxidation rate of a sample decreases over time, due to the elongation of the route that reagents need to go through to get to the reaction site.…”

“…The oxidation rate tends to continuously decrease as the oxide layer thickness increases. Furthermore, k changes with temperature, with the dependence given by the Arrhenius equation [39]: k = AeEaRT where A is a constant (g 2 ·cm −4 ·s −1 ) and E a is activation energy (kJ/mol).…”
