As a mineral, Copper Oxide is known as tenorite

Overview of Copper Oxide Powder

Copper oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula CuO. A black solid, it is one of the two stable oxides of copper, the other being Cu2O or copper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide). As a mineral, it is known as tenorite. It is a product of copper mining and the precursor to many other copper-containing products and chemical compounds.

 Copper oxide (CuO) is a semiconductor compound with a monoclinic structure. CuO is the simplest one in the copper compound family and exhibits a series of potentially useful physical properties, such as high-temperature superconductivity, electronic correlation effects and spin dynamics, so it has attracted much attention. Copper oxide is relatively cheap, easy to mix with polarized liquids (ie water) and polymers, and is relatively stable in terms of chemical and physical properties. High-ion nanoparticle metal oxides (such as CuO) may be particularly valuable antibacterial agents because they can be prepared with extremely high surface areas and unusual crystal morphologies.

 As a stage of extracting copper from ore, copper oxide is produced on a large scale through pyrometallurgy. The ore is treated with an aqueous mixture of ammonium carbonate, ammonia and oxygen to obtain copper (I) and copper (II) amino complexes, which are extracted from the solid. These complexes are decomposed with steam to produce CuO.

 The cytotoxicity of CuO-NP is related to the significant increase of intracellular ROS level, the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and lysosomal membrane leakage. Therefore, in addition to causing damage to mitochondria and lysosomes in human blood lymphocytes, CuO-NPs can also effectively induce oxidative stress.

Applications of Copper Oxide Powder

Copper oxide is an important p-type semiconductor material with a narrow bandgap (1.2-1.5eV) due to its unique properties, such as good thermal stability and photochemical stability, high-temperature superconductivity, and high electrochemical activity, Non-toxic and cheap preparation method, copper oxide has been widely used in catalysis, sensing materials, superconducting materials, thermoelectric materials, glass, ceramics, lithium-ion batteries and even medicine.

Copper oxide is used as a catalyst. It is a metal oxide and can be used as a hydrogen peroxide catalyst, but the activity of manganese dioxide is stronger than copper oxide.

In a chemical reaction, the chemical reaction rate of the reactants can be changed (both can increase or decrease) without changing the chemical balance, and the substance whose quality and chemical properties have not changed before and after the chemical reaction is called catalyst (a solid catalyst is also called catalyst ). According to statistics, more than 90% of industrial processes use catalysts, such as chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, and environmental protection.

1. It can be used as an organic synthesis catalyst, analytical reagent (for nitrogen determination), oxidant, catalyst, and petroleum desulfurized, and it can also be used to determine carbon in organic compounds.

2. Used as a coloring agent in glass, enamel and ceramic industries, the anti-Zou agent in paint, polishing agent in optical glass. Used in the manufacture of dyes, organic catalyst carriers and copper compounds. It is also used in the rayon manufacturing industry and as a desulfurizer for grease. Used as a raw material for the manufacture of other copper salts, and also a raw material for making artificial gems.
