CuO one of the useful metal oxide and has many applications in different fields. CuO acts as a semiconductor. In the present work, the main objective is to synthesize CuO nanoparticles using a low cost Sol- Gel process at room temperature and study the material by using the characterization techniques XRD and UV-visible spectrum. Crystallites size was calculated from Scherer’s formula using most peak of CuO. The XRD pattern of CuO shows the highest intensity diffraction peak at 38.540 correspond to (111) plane. The average crystallite sizes of CuO particles were found to be 16.57 nm. CuO nanoparticle showed maximum absorption at wavelength 322 mm. The calculated energy band gap of CuO were 3.14 eV.

Abstract


CuO one of the useful metal oxide and has many applications in different fields. CuO acts as a semiconductor. In the present work, the main objective is to synthesize CuO nanoparticles using a low cost Sol- Gel process at room temperature and study the material by using the characterization techniques XRD and UV-visible spectrum. Crystallites size was calculated from Scherer’s formula using most peak of CuO. The XRD pattern of CuO shows the highest intensity diffraction peak at 38.540 correspond to (111) plane. The average crystallite sizes of CuO particles were found to be 16.57 nm. CuO nanoparticle showed maximum absorption at wavelength 322 mm. The calculated energy band gap of CuO were 3.14 eV.
