Abstract
In this research work, CuO nano-particles were synthesized at 750 °C (for 2 h) by the direct thermal-decomposition method using the brochantite as precursor. The nano-particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectra (EDS), infrared spectrum (IR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM image showed that the CuO nano-particles were of rod shape with diameter and length of 235 ± 5 nm and 856 ± 5 nm, respectively. As a result, this method could be used at an industrial scale as a cheap and convenient way in production of pure tenorite nano-particles.
