Synthesis and Characterization of Three-Dimensional (3D) Flowerlike CuO by a Simple Chemical Reduction Method

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) flowerlike CuO structures were prepared successfully by reducing copper chloride (CuCl₂·2H₂O) aqueous solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The as-prepared CuO structures were characterized by UV-Vis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), FESEM and EDS techniques. The flowerlike CuO structures consisted of Salix leaf-like nanostructures. A possible growth mechanism for the formation of 3D flowerlike CuO structure was proposed. The processes of ripening and directed growing of nanoparticles were most important factors to obtain the 3D flowerlike CuO structures.
