Synthesis and Characterization of Cobalt and Copper Nanoparticles by Amino Acid
Keywords:
Hydrothermal synthesis, Copper(I) oxide NPs, Cobalt oxide NPsAbstract
A quantitative study of the synthesis and characterization of copper oxide, cobalt oxide nanoparticles and their mixtures has been considered. With special emphasis on the hydrothermal synthesis in organic media of glutamic acid.
The aim of the work is to initiate a new line of research on the synthesis and characterization of these particles and is to develop high-quality nanoparticles for use in more important applications. It has been characterized using several techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-ray EDX, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Diffuse reflectance UV-Vis analysis.
The results of these devices indicated the formation of copper oxide nanoparticles with highly purified crystalline nanostructures, as well as very minimal incorporation of cobalt into the formulation. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed their thermal stability, while ultraviolet radiation (UV-Vis) showed that some samples are insulators and others are semiconductors.
