Hydrazine High-Performance Oxidation and Sensing Using a Copper Oxide Nanosheet Electrocatalyst Prepared via a Foam-Surfactant Dual Template.

ABSTRACT: This work demonstrates hydrazine electro-oxidation and sensing using an ultrathin copper oxide nanosheet (CuO-NS) architecture prepared via a versatile foam-surfactant dual template (FSDT) approach. CuO-NS was synthesised by chemical deposition of the hexagonal surfactant Brij^®58 liquid crystal template containing dissolved copper ions using hydrogen foam that was concurrently generated by a sodium borohydride reducing agent. The physical characterisations of the CuO-NS showed the formation of a two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin nanosheet architecture of crystalline CuO with a specific surface area of ~39 m²/g. The electrochemical CuO-NS oxidation and sensing performance for hydrazine oxidation revealed that the CuO nanosheets had a superior oxidation performance compare
