“…Because of such practically applicable properties, Cu 2 O nanoparticles have been broadly studied in the various application fields like batteries [1], catalysis [5], gas sensor, biosensors [2], magnetic storage devices [6], medical, antifouling coating [6], photoÂŹvoltaic and photocatalytic degradation of most of the organic pollutants [3,7]. Cu 2 O nanoparticles have excellent optical, physical, electrical, magnetic, and biological properties compared to the bulk and microparticles because of the large surface area to volume ratio [4,8]. These novel properties are strongly related to the synthetic processes [4] and there are numerous synthesis techniques like mechanical milling, vacuum vapor deposition, pulsed laser ablation, and pulsed wire discharge, microemulsion techniques, wet-chemistry route, electrochemical, sonochemical, microwaveassisted, thermal decomposition and hydrothermal methods, liquid hydrolysis, etc [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
