Cost-effective sol-gel synthesis of porous CuO nanoparticle aggregates with tunable specific surface area

Abstract CuO nanoparticles (NPs) are applied in various key technologies, such as catalysis, energy conversion, printable electronics and nanojoining. In this study, an economic, green and easy-scalable sol-gel synthesis method was adopted to produce submicron-sized nanoporous CuO NP aggregates with...
