Abstract

We describe a mechanical ball milling technique for producing CuO nanoparticles. Using a 10:1 ball to powder ratio and a milling speed of 150 rpm for 20 hours, copper oxide powder was created. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed a high degree of crystalline and the average crystallite size was determined using the Scherer equation. EDS was used to determine the nanoparticles' elemental composition. EDS confirmed the purity of CuO nanoparticles. Dynamic light scattering was used to estimate particle size distribution. Milled copper oxide nanoparticle thermal stability and energy gap were also studied.
