Copper oxide supported on γ-alumina nanoparticles were prepared and were well characterized. In this study catalytic activities of the supported copper oxide for oxidation of cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexene-1-ol, 2-cyclohexene-1-one and cyclohexene oxide with TBHP and H2O2 as the oxidant, in the liquid phase were considered. For the CuO/γalumina nanocomposites, acetonitrile as the solvent was empl...

Copper oxide (CuO)-decorated cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticles were synthesized and used to detect glucose non-enzymatically. The morphological characteristics and structure of the nanoparticles were characterized through transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The sensor responses of electrodes to glucose were investigated via an electrochemic...

Room temperature ferromagnetism (RTF) is observed in pure copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles which were prepared by precipitation method with the post-annealing in air without any ferromagnetic dopant. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result indicates that the mixture valence states of Cu1+ and Cu2+ ions exist at the surface of the particles. Vacuum annealing enhances the ferromagnetism (FM...

Statement of the Problem Orthodontic appliances facilitate microbial plaque accumulation and increase the chance of white spot lesions. There is a need for new plaque control methods independent of patient's cooperation. Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incorporating copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles on antimicrobial properties and bond strength of orthodontic adhe...

Abstract Fusarium species are considered one of the most destructing plant pathogens. In current study, bimetallic zinc oxide-copper oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-CuO NPs) were myco-synthesized using Aspergillus fumigatus for controlling oxysporum growth. was isolated from soil and identified morphologically genetically. The ZnO-CuO NPs characterized UV-Vis, DLS, HR-TEM, SEM, XRD analyses. HR-TEM ch...

Copper nanoparticles have been deposited on silicon surfaces by a simple galvanic displacement reaction, and rapid thermal annealing has been performed under various atmospheric conditions. In spite of the general tendency of the agglomeration of nanoparticles to lower the surface energy at elevated temperatures, our plan-view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy d...

in this paper, we used tetranuclear copper (ii) schiff base complexes, [cu4 (μ-sal2hn) (μ-n3)2(n3)2] (1) and [cu4 (μ-salophen) (μ1, 1-n3)2(n3)2] (2), as new precursor in solid-state thermal decomposition for the synthesis of cuo nanoparticles. the crystallinity, purity and morphology of the cuo nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and s...

objective(s):copper oxidenanoparticles have different industrial applications so it is inevitable that nanoparticulate products finally find their way into aquatic ecosystems. nevertheless there is little information available about their effects on some of edible fish. the present study aims to determine the acute toxicity and evaluate the effect of two sub-acute concentrations (50 and 70% 96 ...

in our current study, supercritical water impregnation (scwi) was introduced as a unique catalyst preparation method by employing the high diffusivity property of supercritical water. the method allows nano-particles to place on support surfaces in extremely dispersed conditions. the silica-based nanocatalyst granules for this purpose were prepared by initial impregnation of highly porous silic...

silver nanoparticles with size of 6- 57nm were synthesized by bioreduction method from anisochilus carnosus aqueous and ethanolic extract. biosynthesized nanoparticles showed maximum antimicrobial activity against k. pneumonia (13±1.67mm), e.coli (13±1.97mm) and b. subtilis (13±1.07mm) followed by p. aeruginosa and minimum against s. aureus. the quantitative formation, characteristics and impur...
