Synthesis of Copper Nanohexagons and Microflowers via a Surfactant-Assisted Hydrothermal Process

Abstract:

A facile solution-phase process has been demonstrated for the selective preparation of single-crystalline Cu hexagons and flowers by reducing Cuprous iodide (CuI) with Sodium ascorbate (VCNa) in the presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) or cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To study the formation process of Cu nanoparticles, samples obtained at various stages of the growth process were studied by XRD. UV-vis spectra of the Cu hexagons and flowers were recorded to investigate their optical properties, which indicated that as-prepared Cu nanostructures exhibited morphology-dependant optical property.
