CuO Nanoparticles and Microaggregates: An Experimental and Computational Study of Structure and Electronic Properties

Abstract: The link between morphology and properties is well-established in the nanoparticle literature. In this report, we show that different approaches in the synthesis of copper oxide can lead to nanoparticles (NPs) of different size and morphology. The structure and properties of the synthesized NPs are investigated with powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Through detailed SEM analyses, we were able to correlate the synthetic pathways with the pa… Show more

“…The synthetic procedure is a primary factor in determining the shape of the crystals. Recent tests conducted on CuO synthesis through different pathways, including sol-gel and precipitation methods as well as hydrothermal synthesis at different temperatures, with or without surfactant, pointed at the formation of different morphologies, including nanoparticles in the 20 nm range, forming microaggregates [88].…”

“…Nano-priming has a pivotal role in sustainable agriculture [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], since it is a pillar in ameliorating the indicators of plant well-being, improving their germination rate and seedling and plant growth [ 4 ], and alleviating abiotic climate and contamination as well as biotic stresses [ 5 ]. Besides the longtime recognized properties of nanomaterials in the field of sensoristics as carbon/quantum dots [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], as oxide or metal nanoparticles [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], in electronic devices [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], as well as in antimicrobic treatments [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 …”
