  • Synthesis of copper oxide-doped zinc-oxide nanoparticles and their use
    Patent number: 8623220
    Abstract: A simple, room-temperature method of producing CuO-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles was established by reacting zinc nitrate hexahydrate, copper nitrate trihydrate and cyclohexylamine (CHA) at room temperature. These nanoparticles may be used for photocatalytic degradation of cyanide in aqueous solutions. The degradation of cyanide is effective because electrons transfer from the p-type copper oxide to the n-type zinc oxide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 7, 2014
    Assignee: King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST)
    Inventors: Abdulaziz A Bagabas, Ahmed S. Alshammari, Mohamed F. Aboud, Mohamed Mokhtar Mohamed Mostafa, Emad Addurihem, Zeid A. Al-Othman, Musaed A Alangari
