Honey aided solution synthesis of polycrystalline Cu2O particles (original) (raw)

Materials Letters, 2014

Abstract

ABSTRACT Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) particles are synthesized using an easy solution synthesis process that involved the use of honey. Experimentally it was found that the glucose content in honey plays an important role in the formation of Cu2O particles. The size and morphology of Cu2O particles could be easily altered by changing the solvents in the synthesis procedure. Cu2O particles showed good anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
