Synthesis and optical characterization of copper oxide nanoparticles

Amrut. S. Lanje, Satish J. Sharma, Ramchandara B. Pode, Raghumani S. Ningthoujam

Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles are synthesized by aqueous precipitation method using copper acetate as a precursor and NaOH as a stabilizing agent. This gives a large scale production of CuO nanoparticles easily. X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) reveals single phase monoclinic structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the rectangular morphology of as prepared CuO nanoparticles. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed 5-6 nm size of as prepared CuO nanoparticles. Photoluminescence (PL) showed band edge emission at 398 nm and green emission at 527 nm. The band edge-absorption peak is found to be at 355 nm.
