Preparation of large-scale cupric oxide nanowires by thermal evaporation method

Emergent methods to synthesize and characterize semiconductor CuO nanoparticles with various morphologies – an overview

“…However, Huang et al [53] prepared large scale of CuO nanowires by thermal evaporation of copper foil at various temperatures (300-800 C) under an oxygen flow rate of about 50 ml/min. Also, they determined that the diameter and length of nanowires vary with the evaporation temperature and time.…”

Nanostructured copper oxides and phosphates from a new solid-state route

“…Thus the preparation methods for nanostructured materials in their solid-state phase are of great importance. Specifically for copper oxides, solid-state preparation methods have been reported [6,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Xu et al [7] prepared CuO nanocrystals by a one-step solid-state reaction of CuCl 2 ⋅2H 2 O and NaOH, while Kawahashi and Shiho [6] obtained hollow spheres by calcination of a polymer-coated Cu(NO 3 ) 2 salt.…”

“…A different approach involves the oxidation of solid Cu under air at 400 °C to give CuO nanorods [10]. Similarly large-scale synthesis of CuO nanowires has been reported by thermal evaporation of a copper foil under oxygen flow [11].…”

Synthesis, characterizations and hydrophobicity of micro/nano scaled heptadecafluorononanoic acid decorated copper nanoparticle

“…Super hydrophobic Cu(OH) 2 nano tubes from copper foil were reported in the literature [14]. Other authors also reported about the super hdyrophobic copper plate surface by different techniques [15][16][17]. Fluoro compounds exhibit hydrophobic character with water surface and this urged us to do the surface modification of copper plate by heptadecafluorononanoic acid (HDFNA).…”
