Cupric oxide also is a strong conductor of electric current, a property enhanced at the nanoscale level, which makes the nanoparticle form useful to semiconductor manufacturers.

The cupric oxide compound is able to exhibit its room-temperature multiferroic state only when subjected to a high pressure of 18.5 GPa (185,000 atm).

The black copper (II) oxide “cupric oxide” is not what you want. It is not a semiconductor. The red copper (I) oxide “cuprous oxide” is a semiconductor, and has the properties you need.

Extreme caution is advised with copper(II) oxide thermite. The combination is used in high-power rocketry as an instant-on motor starter for solid propellants.

A novel hydrogen sensor offers a promising solution for real-time hydrogen leak detection, addressing safety concerns in industrial applications. This sensor, made with nano-patterned cupric-oxide ...

There are two stable copper oxides, copper(II) oxide (CuO) and copper(I) oxide (Cu 2 O). Copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) is an oxide of copper. It is insoluble in water and organic solvents.

The optical properties of aluminum (Al) and copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, as well as their composites, were thoroughly analyzed in detail using reflection and absorption spectroscopy.

The isobaric solubility of cupric oxide at 310 bars is reported here and compared with the 300 bar isobar for silica (quartz). You have full access to this article via your institution.

This star sculpted with copper wire glows red hot thanks to some catalytic chemistry. D. J. Hall, a PhD student at Drexel University, contributed this photo to Drexel’s series of photos ...
