Copper(II) acetate monohydrate

Copper(II) acetate monohydrate is a binuclear copper complex significant in molecular magnetism, showing diamagnetic behavior at low temperatures and paramagnetic behavior at higher temperatures. It is soluble in water and has applications in sustainable energy storage, photovoltaics, and water purification. The compound can be synthesized by reacting acetic acid with copper(II) carbonate, hydroxide, or oxide, with large-scale production involving refluxing copper metal in air and acetic acid. Additionally, it can be used to form oxide nanoparticles through sonochemical methods.We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.

Copper(II) acetate monohydrate can be used :

• To synthesize CuSbS₂ nanoplates and a CuSbS₂-Cu₃SbS₄ nanocomposite via hot injection method. CuSbS₂ can be used as an absorber material in solar cells due to its favorable optical properties and direct band gap. The CuSbS₂-Cu₃SbS₄ nanocomposite exhibits promising super capacitive properties, making it suitable for energy storage applications.
• To synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using a green synthesis method involving psidium guajava leaf extract as both a reducing and capping agent. The CuO NPs exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for degrading industrial dyes, such as Nile Blue (NB) and Reactive Yellow 160 (RY160). These nanoparticles can be used for purifying water resources contaminated with industrial dyes.
• As a copper precursor in synthesizing CuO semiconducting thin films via jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique, for P–N diode application. These CuO films find applications in supercapacitors, sensors, solar cells, photocatalysis and electrochromic devices.
