Abstract

A facile one-step sonochemical synthesis of Cu₂O nanocubes has been developed by ultrasound irradiation of copper sulfate in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone and ascorbic acid at pH 11. During sonication, the reaction between acoustic cavitation-generated radicals and CuSO₄ produced Cu(OH)₂ intermediate which then reacted with ascorbic acid to generate Cu₂O nanocubes. The products were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, HRTEM, AFM and particle size analyzer. The prepared Cu₂O nanocubes were found to be very effective for enhancing chemiluminescence in the presence of luminol-H₂O₂ system.
