Abstract

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) has wide-scale applications in gas sensors, solar cells, and lithium-ion batteries. In this work, cuprous oxide (Cu2O) powder was prepared by electrodeposition method using copper sulphate hydrated CuSO4, where it was dissolved in distilled water. The produced samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). X-ray diffractograms revealed the characteristic diffraction peaks of cubic Cu2O of space group Pn-3 m, in addition to some lines of cubic Cu of space group Fm-3 m. XRF reports showed that the samples are mainly composed of Cu2O, with impurities mainly including SO3, P2O5, Al2O3 and SiO2.
