Abstract

Tenorite CuO nanoparticles was successfully synthesized by direct thermal decomposition treatment of a microporous metal-organic framework, [Cu3(TMA)2(H2O)3]n (where TMA is benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate), at 500°C under air atmosphere. The CuO nanoparticles were characterized by a series of techniques including X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). This study illustrates the metal-organic frameworks may be suitable precursors for the fabrication of nanoscale metal oxides.
