A sight of view on hydrothermal synthesis of copper oxide

Abstract

In this study, attention was directed to the preparation of nano-copper oxide films and their multiple applications, where a group of recent researches were presented and compared to reach the optimal phase, then the optimal application, and finally the optimal values in the optimal application. Where the metal-oxides are significant technology used in device fabrication in electronic and chemical industries, due to their applications in advanced technologies, which have been attached to the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles. These materials present different properties depending on molecular structure. Copper oxide is used in a wide range of applications. The copper oxide phases CuxO are interesting materials, because of its electrical, optical, and thermal properties. Nano-structuring technologies can enhance the performance of this material and produce it with unique properties that don’t exist in its bulk form. Copper oxide could be found in three different distinct phases, this includes CuO, Cu2O, and Cu4O3, which can be prepared by various synthesis techniques, depending on chemical and physical roots. The most two common Cupric oxide phase is the CuO formula, an inorganic material with black color, it represents one of the other two oxides of copper, the second being Cu2O or cuprous oxide with brownish semiconducting properties. Using A technique to prepare the same material with different phases required physical engineering, where the effect of different parameters plays a role. In this article, the chemical and physical properties of particles using hydrothermal technology for the synthesis of copper oxide were briefly reviewed.
