Synthesis and optical properties of CuO nanostructures obtained via a novel thermal decomposition method

Non-enzymatic amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide using grass-like copper oxide nanostructures calcined in nitrogen atmosphere

“…Two fitted Gaussian peaks marked as O1 and O2 were utilized to describe the experimental data, which corresponds to two different states of oxygen coordination. The O1 peak, positioned at the lower binding energy of 529.2 eV, was assigned to O 2À ion in CuO [39,40]. The O2 peak located at 531.0 eV is most likely due to carboxyl or hydroxyl oxygen atoms absorbed onto the sample surface during sample handling [40,41].…”

“…4(a), with the exception of an obvious peak centered at 530 nm. This peak corresponded to green emission, which arose from the singly ionized oxygen vacancy [39,42]. Since this sample was synthesized in the oxygen-deficient atmosphere, which may cause large amounts of structural defects, including as oxygen vacancies, on the surface of CuO.…”

The Effect of Sulfurisation Temperature on Structural Properties of CuAlS2 Thin Films

“…The cluster size shows remarkable rise with sulfurisation temperature which confirms improvement in grain size [16]. The random distribution of grains and size suggests a random nucleation mechanism and random orientation of grains show that the grain growth is isotropic [17]. Fig.…”

Continuous microwave flow synthesis and characterization of nanosized tin oxide

“…This transformation from amorphous to semi-crystalline with reduced surface area was ascribed to the localized high temperature that often results in microwave heating. [12].…”
