Synthesis and Characterization of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Using Different Precursor

Abstract

Nano copper oxide (CuO) was synthesized using different precursors of copper salts such as copper acetate [Cu(CH3COO)2.2H2O] and copper chloride(CuCl2..2H2O) with the same experimental condition. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, EDX, TEM, SAED, DLS and DSC. The results indicated that the grains of copper oxide were aggregated to formed particle sizes of about 50-100nm, 14.14-17.54nm and 283-449nm from TEM, XRD and DLS, respectively. The DLS analysis of CuONPs was also carried out in the temperature interval from room temperature to 4000C. In the study, the particle size has different sizes, but all the characterization results showed the formation of copper oxide as CuO, which was in agreement with the previously synthesized and reported CuONPs. The method used in the study can be useful for synthesizing other nanoparticles with the desired nanostructure

Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) as a key player in the production of oil-based paint against biofilm and other activities

“…The EDX spectrum of the lyophilized copper nanoparticle powder produced during the study showed that it contained about 91.93 % copper (Cu) and oxygen (O). Comparing our results to those published by Prasad and his team [ 26 ], assuming a copper acetate precursor, the atomic structures of copper (Cu) and oxygen (O) in the synthesized CuO-NPs were 53.21 % and 14.03 %, respectively. Cu's and O's atomic compositions were, when utilizing the copper chloride precursor, 57.78 % and 14.47 %, respectively.…”

“…In recent years, a range of nanoparticles have been produced using bacteria [ 26 ]. Their capacity to produce nanoparticles, such as copper oxide nanoparticles [ 26 ], is great. A short generation time, quick and easy culture, safe experimental settings, good stability, production of extracellular nanoparticles, and accessibility of genetic alteration [ 27 ] are just a few of their many advantages.…”

CuO–V2O5 Composite vs Single-Phase Cu2V2O7: Understanding the Synergy of Mixed-Metal Oxides in Customizing Their Properties for Improved Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…This solid was collected, ground using a mortar and pestle, and annealed at 550 °C for 3 h. After being annealed, the product was ground again and stored in a glass vial at room temperature (RT) for further use. The same procedure was repeated using ammonium metavanadate to prepare the V 2 O 5 sample. , …”
