Synthesis and characteriazation of Cu20 nano-size.

Abstract

The nano-sized Cu2O particles are synthesized by wet method in which CuCl2 is reduced by hydrazine in the presence of a surfactant (PVA or PEG or LA). The products are identified by X-Ray power diffraction (XRD). Transmission Electronic Microscope (TEM) , High Resolution Transmission Electronic Microscope (HRTEM). The results showed that with suitable conditions, size of Cu2O particles is about 20 nm and diameter of Cu2O wire is about 15 nm.
