Abstract

In this paper, Ag/CuO nanomaterials were successfully prepared by means of a hydrothermal method combined with chemical reduction. The synthesized Ag/CuO nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), surface area analysis (BET). Two factors influencing the synthesis of materials such as time of chemical reduction, concentration of silver nitrate were studied. The results showed that silver crystals were introduced into the CuO nanosheets. The BET specific surface area of the obtained Ag/CuO nanomaterial is 113.47 m2.g-1. This nanomaterial has a high catalytic activity for the decomposition of methyl orange (MO) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
