General description

Copper iron oxide, also called copper ferrite or cuprospinel, is a metal oxide composition related to magnetite, Fe3O4, where copper substitutes for some of the iron cations in the structure. Like the related magnetite, CuFe2O4 is superparamagnetic with the magnetization related to the size of the particles. Our copper iron oxide nanopowder has a particle size less than 100 nm and an XRF purity exceeding 98.5% on a metals basis. Copper iron oxide nanoparticles and nanocomposites have various applications in material science due to their unique electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties.Few key applications below: Catalyst: Copper iron oxide nanoparticles have been used as magnetically recyclable catalysts for the synthesis of pyrazole derivatives, which are important heterocyclic compounds with various biological activities. Energy storage: Copper oxide nanoparticles have been used in batteries and tools for solar energy conversion due to their electrical properties.

Application

  • Facile Detection of Blood Creatinine Using Binary Copper-Iron Oxide and rGO-Based Nanocomposite on 3D Printed Ag-Electrode under POC Settings.: This study explores the use of a binary copper-iron oxide and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite for detecting blood creatinine levels. The research demonstrates how this composite, when applied to a 3D printed silver electrode, provides an efficient and accurate method for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, which is significant for sustainable energy materials and advanced cathode materials in battery technologies (Singh et al., 2021).
