Abstract

Research on metal-based nanoparticles, such as silver, gold, and copper(I) oxide (Cu2O), has drawn considerable attention due to their potential applications in catalysis, antioxidants, antimicrobials, and anticancer fields. In this study, we successfully deposited Cu2O antioxidant films on indium tin oxide substrates through potentiostatic electrodeposition. The X-ray diffraction characterization revealed distinct peaks at 2θ value of 36.32°, 42.21°, and 61.30°, indicating the crystal structure of Cu2O thin film. The scanning electron microscopy image showed the three-sided pyramid morphology of Cu2O particles with average size of 316.18 nm. The energy dispersive X-ray spectrum confirmed the purity of the thin film, which is composed only of Cu and O elements without any impurities. The photoelectrochemical showed that the deposited Cu2O has a maximum photocurrent density of 8.37 mA/cm² under visible light irradiation and 1.40 mA/cm² without irradiation. In addition, this study also found that the highest inhibition values of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radicals were observed when ascorbic acid was added.

Abstract

Iron oxide materials, especially hematite (α-Fe2O3), have many important applications. Improving the characteristics and physical properties of hematite has been widely developed, one of which is to combine it as a composite structure with porous materials such as silica (SiO2) as α-Fe2O3/SiO2 composite. This research aims to synthesize α-Fe2O3 particles and α-Fe2O3/SiO2 composites. The α-Fe2O3/SiO2 composite was successfully synthesized by using geothermal waste as an alternative source of silica prepared by the sol-gel method. Both synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence techniques. The results showed that silica composites on hematite structure slightly affect the morphology, color, or particle size compared to α-Fe2O3.
