Antibacterial germicidal material Cu2O copper oxide nanoparticles

As a new type of P-type oxide semiconductor materials that can be excited by visible light, cuprous oxide nanoparticles has an active electron-hole pair system and shows good catalytic activity. In addition, it also has strong adsorption performance and low docile magnetism.

In organic synthesis, photoelectric conversion, new energy, water photolysis, dye bleaching, sterilization, superconductivity and other fields have application potential.
Cuprous oxide nanoparticles can react with sulfhydryl and disulfide bonds to form corresponding sulfhydryl copper compounds.The sulfhydryl and disulfide bonds play a key role in the normal life activities of microorganisms.Therefore, cuprous oxide nanoparticles can interfere with the biochemical reactions of microorganisms, further interfere with their physiological activities, and even induce their apoptosis.In addition, cuprous oxide nanoparticles also has a strong adsorption, can be adsorbed on the bacterial cell wall and destroy its cell wall and cell membrane, causing bacterial death.

Nano-copper oxide is also used in the manufacture of ship bottom antifouling paints (used to kill low-grade marine animals), insecticides, and various copper salts, analytical reagents, red glass, and also for copper plating and copper plating alloy solutions. 

Hongwu is supplying nano sized cu2o particles with 30-50nm purity 99%, goods in stock.
