Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer-Laced Cu-ZnO Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The polymer-laced Cu-ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by one-pot non-aqueous nanoemulsion method with the use of PEO-PPO-PEO as the surfactant, C14H29CH(OH)CH2OH as the reducing agent, octyl ether as the solvent, Zn (acac)2 and Cu (acac)2 as precursors. The Morphology and structure of nanoparticles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). UV-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and photoluminescence spectrometry (PL) were employed to valuate the optical properties of the nanoparticles. The Cu-ZnO nanoparticles with well defined optical properties are promising for optical, catalytic and biomedical applications.
