Effects of Synthetic Procedures and Postsynthesis Incubation pH on Size, Shape, and Antibacterial Activity of Copper (I) Oxide Nanoparticles
Copper (I) oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O NP) were synthesized by reducing CuSO4 with glucose in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol as a capping agent. We used three different synthetic procedures with a fast reaction (procedure 1p), a fast-then-slow reaction (procedure 2p), and a slow-then-fast reaction...
