Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photocatalytic nano materials, in particular to a synthetic method and application of flower-shaped copper oxide nanospheres.
Background
The nano material is a material having a particle size of 1nm to 100nm, and has been found to exhibit excellent properties since the 20 th century, and has been favored by researchers because it exhibits many characteristics in optical, mechanical, electromagnetic, and biological aspects as compared to conventional materials.
Copper oxide is a p-type semiconductor oxide and has a narrow band gap, and a nano copper oxide material belongs to a typical metal oxide semiconductor nano material and has good application in gas sensors, lithium battery electrode materials, solar cells, catalytic reactions, biological pharmacy, environmental treatment and other aspects. In recent years, researchers actively explore and synthesize copper oxide nano materials with different morphologies, and at present, materials such as copper oxide nanowires, nanosheets, hollow microspheres and the like are successfully prepared by different synthesis methods. Among them, the flower-like copper oxide has a relatively high specific surface area, multiple active sites, low bulk density, etc., and thus has a wide application in environmental catalysis, and thus, the synthesis of the flower-like copper oxide is receiving much attention. However, the copper oxide nano material synthesized by the existing precipitation method is poor in shape and size uniformity under the protection of no inducer, so that the specific surface area of the copper oxide nano material is reduced, and the application is limited.

(b) adding an ammonia water solution and a copper salt solution into the solution A under magnetic stirring, and stirring to obtain a blue solution B;
(c) keeping the solution B at 120-125 ℃ for condensation reflux reaction for 2-4 hours until the solution B is changed from blue to light yellow to obtain brown precipitate C;
(d) carrying out ultrasonic reaction on the precipitate C to obtain a black solid D;
(e) and (3) centrifugally separating the black solid D, washing with deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol, and drying in vacuum to obtain the flower-shaped copper oxide nanospheres.
