Synthesis of Copper Nanospindles 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 nanospindles and microflowers by reducing Cuprous iodide (CuI) with Sodium ascorbate (VCNa) in the presence of Pluronic F-127(F-127) or cetyltrimethylammonium 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 nanospindles and microflowers were recorded to investigate their optical properties, which indicated that as-prepared Cu nanostructures exhibited morphology-dependant optical property.
