Uses Copper(II) oxide is used as pigments for coloring glass, ceramics, porcelain and artificial gems; in batteries and electrodes; in antifouling paints; in electroplating; in welding fluxes for bronze; in the production of rayons; for removal of sulfur from oils; in phosphor mixtures; for polishing optical glass; and as a catalyst. It also is used to prepare various copper compounds. Copper(II) oxide is found in nature as the minerals tenorite and paramelaconite. They differ in crystalline structure: tenorite exists as triclinic crystals while paramelaconite consists of tetrahedral cubic crystals.

Uses 1. Cupric oxide Can Used for glass, porcelain colorants, oil desulfurization agent, hydrogenation agent, organic synthesis catalyst, and also used in the manufacture of rayon, gas analysis, etc.

2. Used as analytical reagent (for nitrogen determination), oxidant and catalyst.

3. Used for the coloring agents in glass, enamel and ceramic industry, the anti-wrinkle agents of paint and the polish of optical glass. Used in the manufacture of dyes, organic catalyst carriers and copper compounds. Also used in the manufacture of artificial silk and oil desulfurization agents. Used as the raw materials of other nantokites and artificial gemstones.

4. Used as the pigments of glass and porcelain, desulfurization agents, catalysts, and also used in rayon industry

5. Used for the determination of carbon compounds in organic compounds

6. Used as analytical reagents, oxidants, catalysts and petroleum desulfurizers.

7. Cupric oxide Can used for the coloring agents in glass, enamel and ceramic industry, the anti-wrinkle agents of paint and the polish of optical glass. Used in the manufacture of dyes, organic catalyst carriers and copper compounds. Also used in the manufacture of artificial silk and oil desulfurization agents.

8. Used for blue green pigments, artificial gemstones, colored glass, ceramic glaze, oil desulfurization agents and organic synthesis catalysts, as well as for the carbon determination in gas analysis. The applications of Nano-copper oxide: (1) as an important inorganic material, it has a wide range of applications in the catalytic, superconducting, ceramics and other fields; (2) used as catalyst , catalyst carrier and electrode active material;(3) used for the colorants of glass and porcelain, the polishing agents of optical glass, organic synthesis catalysts, oil desulfurization agents and hydrogenation agents;(4) used for the manufacture of artificial gemstones and other copper oxides;(5) used for rayon manufacture, gas analysis and organic compounds determination;(6) used as the burning rate catalyst of rocket propellant. Nano-copper oxide powder has more excellent catalytic activity and selectivity than the large-sized copper oxide powder.

Uses

Nanoscale Copper(II) Oxide has been studied as photocatalysts, sensors, lubricant additives and batteries.

Nanorods of cupric oxide have also shown advantages as oxidizing agents in high speed chemical reactions over traditional cupric oxide nanoparticles.

Copper(II) oxide is a promising p-type oxide material although with a small band gap.

Uses Cupric Oxide can be used as a dietary ingredient and as a nutrient. Copper aids in the absorption of iron, in the formation of red blood cells and the proper bone formation and maintenance.

As pigment in glass, ceramics, enamels, porcelain glazes, artificial gems; in manufacture of rayon, other Cu Compounds; in sweetening petroleum gases; in galvanic electrodes; as flux in metallurgy; in correcting Cu deficiencies in soil; as optical-glass polishing agent; in antifouling paints, pyrotechnic compositions; as exciter in phosphor mixtures; as catalyst for organic reactions; in high tempereture superconductors.
