Fabrication of novel copper phosphide (Cu3P) hollow spheres by a simple solvothermal method

Synthesis and characterization of Cu3P hollow spheres by a facile soft-template process

“…Therefore, we infer that copper should not be an intermediate. This result is different from our prior report [23]. When the reaction time was 12 h, the hollow structure was irregular and it was undergoing a process of oriented aggregation of the primary Cu 3 P nanoparticles (as shown in Fig.…”

“…In our prior works [23], our group have successfully fabricated Cu 3 P hollow sphere by a two-step solvent-assisted coordination and reduction process, in which EG serves not only as a reducing reagent, but also as a complexing solvent. This process can be described as follows:…”

Study of structural and optical properties of sprayed WO3 thin films using enhanced characterization techniques along with the Boubaker Polynomials Expansion Scheme (BPES)

“…In the same line, the deposited films showed a relatively high absorption coefficient of around 10 4 cm −1 and exhibited a direct transition gap which lies within 2.6-3.6 eV domain. It has been found that these materials were n-type and electrical measurements are in progress in order to reach the resistivity of such thin films [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. This result is very encouraging since a costless and simple spray pyrolysis technique can be used to prepare such oxides and open the way of possible valorisation of the prepared films in many optoelectronic applications.…”

Cu3P Binary Phosphide: Synthesis via a Wet Mechanochemical Method and Electrochemical Behavior as Negative Electrode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…Hollow Cu 3 P spheres were synthesized using the solvothermal method from hydrated CuSO 4 and yellow phosphorus in ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). [18][19][20] Aitken et al [ 21 ] using a hydrothermal method replaced the volatile yellow phosphorus with the less reactive red phosphorus. At the end of the synthesis a material with a higher degree of purity has been prepared.…”
