This paper digs into the multifaceted idea of copper oxide nanoparticles, incorporated through the co-precipitation technique. Through a careful portrayal process including checking electron microscopy, X-beam diffraction, X-beam photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier change infrared spectroscopy, key properties were revealed. Quiet, the nanoparticles displayed a round morphology with a typical size of roughly 42 nm, exhibiting a glasslike monoclinic stage. Optical examination through diffuse reflectance spectroscopy uncovered a blue-moved band hole of 1.46 eV. Furthermore, electrical conductivity measurements revealed a value of 0.15 S/m, while magnetic assessments using vibrating sample magnetometry demonstrated weak ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature, primarily attributed to oxygen vacancies and thermal energy-induced spin ordering, underscored by the reduction in particle size. This comprehensive investigation sheds light on the intricate interplay of structural, optical, electrical, and magnetic features inherent in copper oxide nanoparticles.
