Description
Summary:We report the synthesis of Copper nanoparticles (Cu nanoparticles) by the chemical reduction method. To investigate the structural properties, XRD pattern of the sample were recorded and calculations were made for crystal parameters. TEM images shows the formation of spherical Cu nanoparticles. In order to investigate the optical properties, FTIR spectra were recorded that determines the nature of the chemical bonds. To determine the crystalline conditions, DSC and TGA of Cu nanoparticles were carried out. The plot shows the weight loss of the nanoparticles due to decomposition of Cu nanoparticles.
