Chemical reduction method-based copper nanoparticle synthesis and it's characterization

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a simple, inexpensive technique method for producing copper nanoparticles in an inert atmosphere. The chemical reduction technique has been shown to be a quick and effective way to make copper nanoparticles. With the aid of ascorbic acid and sodium hydroxide, copper sulphate pentahydrate gets reduced. We precisely investigated the particle sizes, compositions and morphologies using Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Copper nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 14 to 55 nm have been created using chemical reduction. Copper nanoparticles have the face centre cubic (FCC) structure discovered through structural analysis due to small size.
