Preparation and characterization of CuO nanorods by thermal decomposition of CuC2O4 precursor

Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms in Solvent Extraction: New Trends and Applications

“…The preparation and investigation of size-confined materials down to the nanometer scale have been one of major academic research and industrial focus in recent years. [68][69][70][71][72] Rare earths and yttrium formulated as metal oxide powders are used in a variety of advanced technological applications. Most of these applications require particles with specific characteristics: size, morphology and composition.…”

Emergent methods to synthesize and characterize semiconductor CuO nanoparticles with various morphologies – an overview

“…Xu et al [44] reported preparation of CuO nanorods by thermal decomposition of CuC 2 O 4 similar to Yang and Gao [41] but they use copper acetate, oxalic acid and surfactant (nonyl phenyl ether) as starting compounds. That is, about 3.99 g of Cu(CH 3 COO) 2 Á H 2 O and 2.53 g of H 2 C 2 O 4 Á 2H 2 O were mixed with 5 ml of nonyl phenyl ether 9/5 (NP-9/5) in a mortar, grind for several minutes and kept in a thermostat oven at 50-60 C for 6 h. Then the product was washed several times with distilled water and acetone to remove unreacted reactants and then dried in an oven at 70-80 C for 12 h to yield pure CuC 2 O 4 .…”

Punica granatum flower extract mediated synthesis of Copper oxide Nanoparticle and evolution of its antibacterial activity

“…The reported conventional synthesis of Copper oxide NPs like chemical route [10], hydrothermal method [11], solid-state reaction method [12], thermal decomposition ofprecursor [13],etc leaves some toxic chemicals absorbed at the surface, which can cause adverse outcomes in medical applications.A variety of plant extracts such as Aloe veraLeaf [14],Ixora Coccinea [15], Pomegranate peel [16], Magnolia kobus [17], Carica Papaya [18],Manihot esculenta [19],Tridax procumbens [20], Azadirachta indica [21], Saraca indica [22]have been utilized for the greener way production of CuO NPs.…”
