Facile synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles and their applications in the photocatalytic degradation of acyclovir

Copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple sol-gel route using copper (II) acetate monohydrate as a precursor at varying temperatures (300 °C, CuO(300); 350 °C, CuO(350) and 400 °C, CuO(400)), and were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microsc...
