The transition metal oxide-based nanomaterial attracted researchers for its various applications due to interesting physical, chemical, and optical properties. Copper oxide thin films with different oxidation states were prepared on transparent, nontransparent nature conducting substrates from the acidic alkaline medium by electrodeposition technique. deposition parameters such as potential, ba...

incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; cu(no3)2.3h2o and copper particles chemically synthesized.the particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. on the other han...

The effect of 2’-cytidylic acid and 3’qtidylic acid upon the binding of cupric ions by RNase has been studied by gel filtration, together with the effect of cupric ions upon binding of 2’and 3’-cytidylic acids. The results confirm that binding of 2’-CMP by RNase weakens its athnity for cupric ions; reciprocally, binding of cupric ion diminishes the athnity of RNase for 2’CMP. The negative inter...

A composite made from hollow polyhedron copper oxide and graphene oxide was synthesized by sintering a Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) embedded with exfoliated graphene oxide. As a proof-of-concept application, the obtained Cu(ox)-rGO materials were used in a lithium-ion battery and a sodium-ion battery as anode materials. Overall, the Cu(ox)-rGO composite delivers excellent electroch...

The ability to manipulate miniature object assemblies with well-defined structures in a controllable manner is of both fundamental and applied interests. This article presents general strategies, with nanospheres as building blocks, to engineer mesoscopic spherical architectures via a process of evaporation-driven self-assembly in aerosol droplets. Uniform magnetite iron oxide (Fe(3)O(4), appro...

Nanocomposite reactive microspheres with diameters of approximately 1-5 mum were created via electrostatic self-assembly of aluminum and cupric oxide nanoparticles. The ability to utilize this novel approach of bottom-up assembly to create these reactive materials allows for the potential for a more intimate mixture between the two nanoreactants and, thus, an overall more energetic combustion p...
