Chemical Synthesis of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Study of its Optical and Electrical Properties

Abstract

A simple method for the synthesis of Nano-rod like copper oxide nanostructure has been reported using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ultrapure deionized (DI) water and ethanol as precursor. Efforts were made to see effort of sodium hydroxide amount of different properties of the materials thus three sample were synthesized with different amount of sodium hydroxide precursors. The as-prepared sample was characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron spectroscope study. Also the samples were characterized further with the help of Fourier-Transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study as well as Raman Spectroscopic study taken in reflection mode. XRD conforms the proper Phase formation of the sample whereas the microscopic analysis has given an idea about the morphological as well as dimensional information. FTIR study gives the information regarding the different bonding present in sample. Reflection study shows that, due to the change in the precursor amount, there is a marked difference in the reflection spectra as well as optical gap of the sample.

Antibacterial Effects of Zinc and Copper Oxide Nanoparticles and their Miscibility simulations with Polylactic acid

“…Zinc oxide and copper oxide in particular, destroyed the cytoplasmic membrane by neutralizing the respiratory enzymes and immersing the cytoplasm contents in an outward direction. This process interfered with the cellular membrane hence killing the bacteria resulting in a zone of inhibition of bacterial growth [40,41]. The ZnO and CuO nanoparticles generated zones of inhibition as observed in Fig.…”

Structural and antibacterial properties of copper oxide nanoparticles: a study on the effect of calcination temperature

“…Metal oxide nanoparticles exhibit diverse and fascinating characteristics that offer the possibility of developing new products and have since paved way for broader applications. Among the metal oxides that are being explored in their nanoscale is copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Copper oxide nanoparticles are inexpensive materials with high potential in various applications including gas sensors, catalysis, coating, antimicrobial, etc [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
