摘要
The present investigation reports a simple hydrothermal process for synthesizing Cu and CuO nanostructures using new set of low-cost starting reagents including CuSO4 center dot 5H(2)O, ethylenediamine and hydrazine hydrate. The obtained nanostructures were characterized by techniques such as XRD, SEM, EDX, DRS and FTIR. Effect of hydrazine hydrate, ethylenediamine, reaction temperature and time on morphology of prepared nanostructures was well studied. Our results showed ethylenediamine and hydrazine hydrate play crucial role on particle growth, formation mechanism of nanostructures and consequently on morphology of nanostructures. Furthermore, the efficiency of CuO nanostructures as a photocatalyst for the decolorization of methylene blue using ultraviolet light irradiation was evaluated and the CuO nanoparticles compared to nanorods showed more efficient photocatalytic activity.
