Hydrothermal growth of CuS nanostructures and its photocatalytic properties

Antimicrobial Activity of Amino Acid-Capped Zinc and Copper Sulphide Nanoparticles

“…e diffraction peaks of CuS nanoparticles capped with L-alanine (Figure 3(a), (A)) and L-aspartic acid (Figure 3 parameters are a � 3.792Å and c � 16.334Å [29]. Broadening of the diffraction peaks is clearly seen which confirms small size nanocrystals.…”

Electrocatalytic oxidation of carbohydrates and dopamine in alkaline and neutral medium using CuO nanoplatelets

“…ZnO [22], CuO [23] and NiO [24]) based sensor for the detection of glucose presently available, cupric oxide (CuO) a p-type transition metal oxide semiconductor with a narrow band gap (1.2 eV) and is also a suitable promising material to fabricate non-enzymatic glucose sensors due to its low cost, high specific surface area and good electrochemical catalytic activity [25]. Among the various synthesis routes, hydrothermal process is of great interest for the synthesis of various CuO nanostructures and microstructures as it controls the phase, growth, shape and size of the products giving high purity products and involves simple equipment, environmentally safe process and the ease of scale up production [26]. Several morphologies such as nanorods and nanoflowers have been synthesized by hydrothermal route by using cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant.…”

Effect of Operational Parameters on the Degradation of Methylene Blue Using Visible Light Active BiVO4 Photocatalyst

“…The plot of ( α hν) Vs hν gives the E g value of BiVO 4 . The E g value of BiVO 4 could be estimated to be 2.44 eV, which perfectly matches earlier reports . The typical SEM image of BiVO 4 sample is shown in Figure .…”
