We report the synthesis of copper oxide ( CuO ) nanoparticles prepared by wet chemical precipitation method. The structural and dielectric properties are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and complex impedance spectroscopy as a function of frequencies from 40 KHz to 100 KHz in the range of temperatures (308–393K). Maximum value of dielectric constants are found to be in the order of 106 which increases with increase in temperatures. From XRD data it is found that the particle size increases with increase in calcination temperatures. SEM with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDX) results show that only CuO is present in the prepared sample. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern by TEM shows that uniform size distributions of CuO nanoparticles are present in the sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
