Description

In this work, nanoparticles copper oxide were prepared by using an atmospheric-pressure plasma jet in NaCl–NaOH–NaNO3 electrolytic system. Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma Jet was employed as the electrode (Cathode) while the anode was made of the copper strip. The formation and structure of the samples have been characterized via Fourier-transformation infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and optical microscope. From the outcomes, the morphology was showed copper oxide nanocrystals by this technique is rely on the media of electrolytic and preparation time. It was cleared from (XRD), the addition of CuCl2 with the compositions was led to increase appearance of copper oxide. The uniformity of copper oxide nanoparticles with the average grain size about 70,104 nm. These results encourage preparing these nanostructures for using in industrial applications. (paper)
