“…This material has been investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) 9,12,14,15,18 , thermogravimetry (TG) [13][14][15][16]18 , differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) 18 , X-ray diffractrometry (XRD) 9,12,16,18,[19][20][21] , scanning electron microscopy (SEM) 9,17,18 , both infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy 9,13,14,18,22 . These previously mentioned works pointed out that thermal decomposition course of CuAcH 2 O occurs in two stages: I) dehydration of CuAcH 2 O producing copper(II) acetate ((CH 3 COO) 2 Cu) (denoted by CuAc) and II) decomposition of CuAc producing solid products such as Cu, Cu 2 O, CuO or more rarely to Cu 4 O 3 , and gaseous or volatile products such as acetic acid, acetone, acetaldehyde, methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.…”
