CuO nanoparticles – Synthesis by wet precipitation technique and its characterization

A simple wet precipitate technique is used to synthesis CuO nanoparticles. The copper chloride and sodium hydroxide are used as precursor. The powder X-ray diffraction confirmed the CuO phase of the synthesized nanoparticles having monoclinic unit cell structure. The near perfect stoichiometry of the synthesized nanoparticles is confirmed by the analysis of the dispersive X-rays technique. The spherical shape and nanostrips morphology is...
