Synthesis of CuO and Cu3N Nanoparticles in and on Hollow Silica Spheres

Copper oxide nanoparticles within hollow mesoporous silica spheres were prepared by binding/adsorbing Cu2+ or [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ ions on the surface of carbon spheres, followed by formation of a mesoporous silica shell by sol–gel processing and calcination in air. The CuO nanoparticles can subsequen...
