Abstract
A simple hydrothermal synthesis method with CuSO4 of copper was used to prepare Cu2O/Cu nanoparticles. Samples were characterized by X-ray- diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). With an increase in reaction time and a temperature increase. In the end, the following products were obtained: Cu2O octahedron microcrystals, Cu2O/Cu composite particles, and a wide range of nanowires. A study of the gas sensitivity of the samples (products) towards NO2 gas was carried out. Through the results, it appeared that the sensors prepared for the compound Cu2O/Cu at a temperature of 65°C and for 20 min showed a very good gas sensitivity (optimal). The very good gas sensitivity indicated that the Cu2O/Cu compounds may have very wide applications as gas sensors.A simple hydrothermal synthesis method with CuSO4 of copper was used to prepare Cu2O/Cu nanoparticles.
