Size-controlled synthesis of alginate-stabilized Cu2O@Cu nanoparticles: Effect of stabilizer agent concentration on particle size

Alginate-stabilized Cu2O@Cu nanoparticles were fabricated by chemical reduction method using nature polymer alginate as a stabilizing agent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, and UV-Vis analysis were used to investigate the morphology, size, structure, and stability of the nanoparticles synthesized.
