An Investigation on the Synthesis and Characterization of Copper Oxide Doped Nano Particles

Cobalt-doped copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, synthesized by hydrothermal method, exhibit enhanced photocatalytic, magnetic, and electrochemical properties, making for energy storage, catalysis, and gas sensing applications. The characterization confirmed successful cobalt doping nanoparticles and material properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the crystalline structure, while field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed uniform particle morphology and consistent dopant distribution. Optical properties were assessed using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy bandgap energy and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified characteristic functional groups. These results highlight the potential of cobalt-doped CuO as a multifunctional material for advanced applications.
