Hierarchical copper oxide @ ternary nickel cobalt sulfide (CuO/Cu₂O@NiCo₂S₄) core-shell nanowire arrays on Cu foam have been successfully constructed by a facile two-step strategy. Vertically aligned CuO/Cu₂O nanowire arrays are firstly grown on Cu foam by one-step thermal oxidation of Cu foam, followed by electrodeposition of NiCo₂S₄ nanosheets on the surface of CuO/Cu₂O nanowires to form the ...

Solar photoelectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol in aqueous media was driven on hybrid CuO/Cu2O semiconductor nanorod arrays for the first time. A two-step synthesis was designed and demonstrated for the preparation of these hybrid copper oxide one-dimensional nanostructures on copper substrates. The first step consisted in the growth of CuO nanorods by thermal oxidation of a ...

An effective biogenic approach is proposed to synthesize size-tunable CuO nanostructures using seed shell extract of Sapindus mukorossi plant use as efficient catalysts for conjugate addition amines acrylonitrile under ambient conditions.

Tantalum oxide honeycomb nanostructures (THNS) were fabricated by electrochemical anodisation of tantalum in H2SO4-HF medium. XRD analysis showed that annealing of THNS at 400 °C improves the crystallinity. HRSEM and AFM results illustrated that nanopores with an average diameter of 30 nm were uniformly distributed and the pore size reduced to 24 nm and 18 nm during subsequent electrodeposition...

two cu(ii) complexes, [cu(l1)2](no3)2 (1) and [cu(l2)2] (no3)2(2), which l1 and l2 schiff base ligands are 2-(thiophene-2-yl) -1h-imidazo [4,5-f] [1,10] phenanthroline and 2-(furane-2-yl)-1h-imidazo[4,5-f] [1,10] phenenthroline, respectively, were synthesized and characterized by physico - chemical and spectroscopic methods. corresponded cuo nanoparticles were prepared by calcination of the obt...

A novel ternary Punica granatum L-Cu/Cu2O/CuO/ZnO nanocomposite was successfully synthesised via green route. In this work, we demonstrate that the green synthesis of metal oxides is more viable and facile compare to other methods, i.e., physical and chemical routes while presenting a potential electrode for energy applications. The prepared nanocomposite was characterised by both microscopic a...

Although significant advances have been witnessed in the application of nanozymes recent years, exploring new strategies to enhance enzyme-like activity is urgent importance. Herein, we investigate feasibility accelerating peroxidase-like reaction rate CuO nanostructures through Fe doping. The coprecipitation method was used synthesize Fe-doped (Fe-CuO) nanozymes, and results indicate that dive...
