Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing cuprous oxide micro / nano crystals; in particular, it relates to a preparation method for shape-controllable cuprous oxide micro / nano crystals. Background technique

[0002] Cuprous oxide is a semiconductor material with a p-type direct bandgap. The forbidden band width is 1.9-2.2ev. Cuprous oxide semiconductor material can be excited under visible light (wavelength 400-800nm), and can be used in solar energy conversion, micro Electronics, magnetic storage, catalysis and gas sensing and other fields.

[0003] The preparation of cuprous oxide nanomaterials has always been one of the hot research areas. Cuprous oxide thin film materials also have good applications in solar energy conversion. For example, Yan Zipeng and others prepared p-type Cu by electrochemical method 2 O semiconductor thin film (Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University, 2011, 45(3): 121-124), and in the study of direct conversion of solar ...

Examples

specific Embodiment approach 1

[0017] Specific embodiment 1: The preparation method of the shape-controllable cuprous oxide micro / nano crystal in this embodiment is carried out according to the following steps:

[0018] Step 1. Add 0.002-0.1mol copper salt into 15mL-30mL ultrapure water, stir with a magnetic stirrer at a rate of 500-1000r / min until the copper salt is completely dissolved, and then set the molar ratio of copper ion to lactic acid as 1: (5-20) into lactic acid, continue to stir for 30-60 minutes, then adjust the pH value to 7.0-13.0 with alkaline solution, then cool to 25°C and set the volume to 100mL, measure the pH value, and obtain solution A;

[0019] Step 2. Then move the solution A to the cleaned hydrothermal reaction kettle, close the reaction kettle, put the hydrothermal reaction kettle into the oven, adjust the temperature of the oven to 50-200°C, keep it warm for 2-48 hours and then cool it down naturally to room temperature, take it out and wash it with ultrapure water for three ti...

specific Embodiment approach 2

[0020] Embodiment 2: This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: Step 1 adds 0.03-0.08 mol of copper salt into 20 mL of ultrapure water. Other steps and parameters are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

specific Embodiment approach 3

[0021] Embodiment 3: The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 or 2 is that the molar ratio of copper ions to lactic acid in Step 1 is 1: (6-15). Other steps and parameters are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.
