Abstract

The study is dedicated to a comprehensive examination of copper oxide nanoparticles, with a primary focus on their fabrication and systematic analysis. The principal objectives encompass the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles through a straightforward precipitation method, the structural characterization through X-ray diffraction (XRD), the determination of particle size and morphology using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the analysis of functional groups within the CuO nanoparticles via Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and the exploration of absorbance peaks utilizing UV-Vis spectroscopy. The research outcomes unlock novel prospects for scientific and technological advancements, offering crucial insights into the intrinsic properties and potential applications of copper oxide nanoparticles.
