Abstract

Exploding wire Technique is a way for production metal and its compound nanoparticle that is capable of production of bulk amount at low cost semiconductor. In this work a copper iodine nanoparticles were fabricate by exploding copper wires with different currents in iodine solution. The produced samples were examined by XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM to characterize their properties. The XRD proved the Nano-size for producer. The crystalline size increases with increasing current. FTIR measurements show a peaks located at 638.92 for Cu-I stretch bond indicate on formation of copper iodide compound and the peaks intensities increase with increasing current. The SEM and TEM measurements show that the thin films have nanostructures.

Highlights

  • A nano size CuI is being pursued with great interest because of several possible technical applications in catalysis, drug delivery systems, separation techniques, photonics as well as piezoelectric and other dielectric devices [1].Explosion wire technique is a simplest technique to produce nanoparticles, which has interested in recent researches [2]

  • The results show that all CuI thin films have polycrystalline structure identical with standard card No 96-900-8845 for cubic-CuI crystals with peaks located at 25.4974o, 2964634o, 4261994o, 4969411o and 52.3495o along (111), )244(, )224( and (311) directions respectively

  • The study indicate that the exploding wire Technique is simplest Technique which used in the preparation of copper iodine (CuI) Nano particle with selected size by varying used current
