One-dimensional copper oxide nanorods have been prepared as olefin carrier for facilitated olefin transport by thermal decomposition from copper oxalate in ionic liquids (ILs). It is expected that the one-dimensional nanostructures may improve the olefin carrier activity due to their continuous interactions with olefin, compared to zero-dimensional nanostructure. Synthesis using ionic liquids provides the further enhancement of the interactions of copper oxides (CuOx) with propylene, owing to interactions between anions of the ILs and surface of CuOx nanorods, as confirmed by the measurement of binding energy with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron micrographs (TEM) confirmed the formation of copper oxide nanorods from copper oxalate. |
