Abstract

The copper oxide nano sponge like material was synthesized by simple solid state reaction method at low temperature using Igepal CA 210 as a surfactant. Three samples were synthesized by changing the concentration of the surfactant such that 0M, 0.05M, and 0.1M. Influence of Igepal on the structural, morphological and optical properties of CuO nanomaterial were analysed and reported. Sunlight driven photo catalytic properties of synthesized materials were analysed using Congo red as model dye. Degradation ability of the CuO nano materials synthesized with different ratio of surfactant was compared and discussed.
