Chemical synthesis of mesoporous CuO from a single precursor: Structural, optical and electrical properties

Assessment of CuO thin films for its suitablity as window absorbing layer in solar cell fabrications

“…Another peak lies at 570.69 cm À1 corresponds to the B 2 g mode of CuO. Observed locations of the peaks are comparable to the previously reported results [38][39][40][41][42]. The band at about 1093.71 cm À1 can be assigned to multi-phonon transition [30,31].…”

“…The metal cation copper forms four coplanar bonds with oxygen, which again self coordinated by four copper atoms, forming two sets of chains directed along (11 0) direction [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. The factor group analysis yields [32],…”

Effect of NaOH molar concentration on optical and ferroelectric properties of ZnO nanostructures

“…In recent years, among the transition metal based oxides, the research on nanostructure zinc oxide (ZnO) has stimulated intensive interest due to its unique optical, magnetic, catalytic and mechanical properties different from bulk material and thus, potential applications in various fields of science and technology [1][2][3][4]. At nanoscale, ZnO crystals exhibit outstanding and surprising properties.…”

Room-temperature synthesis of mesoporous CuO and its catalytic activity for cyclohexene oxidation

“…However, the reports on the fabrication of mesoporous CuO nanostructure are very limited and the reported methods suffer from either utilizing templating agent [25][26][27][28] or high temperatures. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] To explore the facile synthesis of mesoporous CuO nanocrystals at room temperature is of great importance, but still remains challenging. Amines are organic compounds containing a basic N atom with a lone pair of electrons which are closely related to ammonia.…”
