Copper(II) oxide, nanopowder, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
Copper(II) oxide nanopowder is used as a burning rate catalyst in rocket propellant, which enhances the the homogeneous propellant burning rate, lower pressure index. It can act as a catalyst used in superconducting materials, thermoelectric materials, sensing materials, glass and ceramics. It plays a vital role in photoconductive and photothermal applications. It is also used in ceramic resistors, magnetic storage media, gas sensors, near-infrared tilters, semiconductors, solar energy transformation and high-tech superconductors.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
