Abstract
Copper oxide (CuO) nanoplates (NPs of ∼100 nm width) were successfully synthesized via a chemical method (emulsion method). Superior catalytic activities towards both chemical and electrochemical sensing of nitrite were achieved.
Highlights
Copper oxide (CuO) nanoplates (NPs of $100 nm width) were successfully synthesized via a chemical method
Excessive industrialization has caused a negative impact on human health due to the environmental degradation caused by the release of toxic gases
Stable CuO NPs were synthesized in a facile manner through self-oxidation of the surface using a chemical emulsion method and subsequent calcination at 400 C (Scheme 1)
