CuO Nanoparticls Thermally Synthesized From a Since-Wheel Copper(II) Complex

Abstract

The broad properties of nanostructured materials based on transition metal oxides have received great attention from researchers. Copper (II) Oxide (CuO) due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, has numerous potential applications. Among the different methods previously reported to prepare CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) such as sonochemical, sol-gel, and electrochemical techniques, this study proposes an easeful, simple, and cost-effective method to synthesize CuO NPs by thermal decomposition of a coordination complex i.e., a binuclear copper (II) carboxylate complex.
