Abstract

Hollow copper(I) oxide microspheres were prepared by using polyoxyethylene (9) nonylphenyl ether (PONPE-9) as a shape controlling agent. Copper(II) sulphate and ascorbic acid were used as the starting and reducing agents, respectively. The reaction was conducted under sonication without rigid templates at a controlled temperature of 40 ºC. The product morphology was found to be affected by solution pH (from 3-11) and hollow spheres could be prepared only at neutral pH. The outer diameter of the spheres was 600-1,500 nm and shell thickness 50-70 nm. Similar results were obtained by using PONPE-7 or PONPE-12 but not with other commercial surfactants such as sodium dodecylsulphate, cetryltrimethylbromide and dioctylsodiumsulfosuccinate (AOT). The particle samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron dispersion spectroscopy. A possible formation mechanism of hollow sphere Cu2O produced was also discussed.
