Electrochemical Method for Synthesis of Cu, Cu2O, and CuO Nanoparticles
Keywords:
electrolysis, copper nanoparticles, DNA, copper, synthesizing, electrochemical method, nanoparticles, electrochemistry.Abstract
This article examines several methods for synthesizing copper nanoparticles in solutions using electrochemical reduction. A number of conditions for nanoparticle synthesis are discussed. In particular, studies devoted to the use of different solvents and electrolytes, as well as the investigation of the influence of electrolysis conditions, have been examined. For instance, nanoparticle size can be controlled by adjusting voltage and current strength. The role of stabilizers was also considered; the use of different stabilizers allowed for control over the size and shape of nanoparticles. The influence of the electrolyte pH was studied, revealing its significant impact on the size, morphology, and thermal stability of copper particles. At low pH values (pH = 5), Cu nanoparticles with large sizes and complex shapes are formed. Innovative approaches were proposed, such as using DNA as an electrolyte for nanoparticle synthesis, highlighting the importance of electrolyte selection in determining particle morphology and size.
