In this paper, highly dispersed copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have been successfully prepared in DMAC–water mixed solvent by a quick-precipitation method. The as-prepared CuO nanoparticles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)....
