Effect of Rapid Thermal Annealing on Cuo Nanoparticles by Boumezrag Maria Nor Elyakin, Almi Kenza, Lakel Said, Zaghoum Noor El Imane, Touhami Hanna

“…Nevertheless, samples exposed to RTA for one hour are more susceptible to absorbing species of C=O bond (C=O bond is due to the atmospheric CO2 absorption and the presence of organic impurities from the synthesis process) than those of STA. Hence, RTA at 500 °C is far from producing CuO nanoparticles with preferred characteristics; it needs further research to examine the effect of higher temperature by controlling the annealing time.…”
