Article Name : | | SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COPPER CARBONATE NANOPARTICLES | Author Name : | | R.Hepzi Pramila Devamani , M.

The formed nanoparticle is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultra-violet spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, confirmed the preferential growth of copper carbonate nanoparticles that width is 90.55nm. The SEM image shows the synthesized copper carbonate show well crystallized particles with spherical morphology. The FTIR spectrum is used to study the stretching and bending frequencies of molecular functional groups in the sample. From UV spectrum, the band gap of copper carbonate nanoparticles is found to be 3.4eV. | Keywords : | | |
