Embodiment 1

[0021] Example 1, Cu 2 Preparation of O nanocubes

[0022] 1) HAuCl 4 ·3H 2 O and n-tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB) were dissolved in deionized water and toluene respectively, stirred evenly, and prepared into 0.03M HAuCl 4 aqueous solution and 0.15M TOAB in toluene.

[0023] 2) Take 6 mL each of the above solutions, and add HAuCl 4 The aqueous solution was added to the toluene solution of TOAB, and stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, the aqueous solution changed from yellow to colorless, and the toluene solution turned orange.

[0024] 3) Take newly prepared 0.26M NaBH 4 6 mL of aqueous solution was added dropwise to the reaction mixture obtained in step 2) within 30 min, and stirred rapidly for 30 min.

[0025] 4) the organic phase in the mixed solution obtained in step 3) is separated, and the 2 SO 4 The solution was washed once, then washed five times with distilled water, and finally with MgSO 4 The organic phase is dried and filtered through filter pap...

Embodiment 2

[0029] Embodiment 2, Au / Cu 2 Preparation of O core-shell heterojunction nanocubes:

[0030] 1) The preparation of Au nanoparticles is the same as steps 1)-4) in Example 1.

[0031] 2) Disperse the Au nanoparticles coated with TOAB stabilizer obtained in step 1) onto the copper mesh microgrid coated with carbon film, wherein the density of Au nanoparticles on the copper mesh is ≥2500 / μm 2, and then place the microgrid in a holding furnace, heat it up to 100°C at a heating rate of 1°C / s, and hold it for 30min. It was found that the particle size of Au nanoparticles increased from 5.2nm to 6nm, and no other substances were found to be formed.

[0032] 3) The heating temperature in step 2) was raised to 200° C. and kept for 30 minutes. It was found that the particle size of Au nanoparticles increased to 15 nm, and no other substances were found to be formed.

[0033] 4) Raise the heating temperature in step 3) to 300°C and keep it warm for 30 minutes to obtain Au / Cu 2 O core-s...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparation of a Cu2O and Au / Cu2O core-shell heterostructure nano cube through thermal oxidation. Acccording to the method, a copper mesh micro-gate is used as a copper source, oxygen in the air is used as an oxygen source, Au nanoparticles coated with tetraoctylammonium bromide stabilizers on the surface are used as catalysts and nucleation points for growth of the Cu2O and Au / Cu2O core-shell heterostructure nanoparticles, the raw materials are heated at 300 DEG C, and the Cu2O and Au / Cu2O core-shell heterostructure nano cube can be prepared through adjusting the density of the Au nanoparticles on the copper mesh. The Cu2O nano cube mainly has two forms: a perfect cube and a cube with corners cut. The Au / Cu2O core-shell heterostructure nano cube is a core-shell heterostructure nano cube. The method has the advantages that the product purity and the selectivity are high, the synthesis process is simple, the production cost is low, no pollution can be caused, and the shape can be controlled.
