The Porous Structure of Copper-cadmium Oxide System Prepared by AC Electrochemical Synthesis

The porous structure of nanoparticles of copper-cadmium oxide system prepared by AC electrochemical synthesis in sodium chloride with a concentration of 3, 15, 25 wt. % has been studied. The obtained data indicate that at a higher current density and sodium chloride concentration of 3% wt. in the electrochemical oxidation of cadmium and copper products are formed with the structure of mesopores and channels. In this case, the specific surface area has the greatest value (19.4 m2/g) and a maximum pore volume (0.0778 cm3/g). Thus, the obtained data allow predicting the operating parameters of the electrolysis to obtain a copper - cadmium oxide system of a predetermined porous structure.
