Copper oxide was synthesized by the one-pot synthesis methods associated with mesoporous silica in different synthetic conditions. The SBA route with Cu citrate sol was the most effective to prepare CuO with high surface area, where its crystallite size could be controlled with the pore size of the mesoporous structure. It also showed better catalytic activity for toluene oxidation.
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.
