Strategies for Scale-up and Yield Improvement in the Synthesis of CuO Nanoparticles

Anju K. Radhakrishnan and K.S. Rajan
The present work reports on the scale up of synthesis of CuO nanoparticles from two different precursors: Copper (II) nitrate and copper (II) acetate. This is in realization of the importance of scale-up procedures for synthesis of nanoparticles with an ultimate aim to extend the application of nanoparticles for large-scale industrial applications. Our results show that the reaction batch volume can be scaled up to 5000 mL at a yield of 42 g per batch, without loss of morphological and crystallographic features. While using copper (II) acetate as precursor, higher yield and control of particle size can be achieved through re-use of spent precursor solution.
