CuO nanoparticles at ca. 20-50 nm were successfully coated on monodispersed silica spheres prepared by modified sol-gel method. A renewable palm oil based decyl-alcohol (C10) was employed as nonsurfactant surface modifier prior to coating with CuO. Various amounts of ammonia (NH3) (0-1 ml) was as ca...
