Abstract
To produce high crystalline and unified cuprite nano single crystals from copper sulfate pentahydrate a unique bi-polarized methanol-water mixture reduces surface energy and enhances capping efficiency. Exhaustive significance lattice parameters, crystal volume, peak profiling, lattice constant, percent of crystallinity and crystal strain were analyzed by the whole powder pattern fitting (WFPP) Rietveld refinement method. A red shift at 636.0 nm in UV spectrophotometry is associated with a high surface plasmon effect and the zeta potential of 89.0 mV confirms the excellent stability of the cuprite crystal. Crystallographic data, d-spacing 0.25188 nm, lattice parameters a = b = c = 3.78 Å, α = β = γ = 90° of cuprite single crystal was further established by the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) in TEM. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) reveals the formation of the 100.0 % unified cuprite single crystal.
