Abstract

Aim: This work presents the study results related to the effect of multi-pulse electron beam and additional heating of the reaction mixture on the structural and morphological characteristics of the CuxOy/TiO2 nanocomposite prepared by the pulsed plasma-chemical method.

Methods: The CuxOy/TiO2 nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Results: It was found that an increase in the impact of a pulsed electron beam on the synthesized composite affected the degree of its agglomeration and the geometric mean particle diameter. Additional heating of the reaction mixture increased the geometric diameter of the synthesized particles (up to 200 nm).

Conclusion: The phase composition of the CuxOy/TiO2 nanocomposite changed depending on the synthesis conditions.

Keywords: Nanocomposite, pulsed plasma-chemical synthesis, titanium dioxide, copper (I) oxide, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD).
