CuO as efficient photo catalyst for photocatalytic decoloration of wastewater containing Azo dyes
Cupric oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared via a chemical precipitation method using the precursor of copper (II) nitrate trihydrate. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that the CuO NPs were a monoclinic crystal structure. The energy band gap of CuO NPs was found to be about 1.76 eV. The ob...
