The produced materials can be confirmed by conducting various analytical techniques. The analysis revealed particle sizes of approximately 29.35 nm for CuO and 23.56 nm for rGO/CuO. Internal and surface morphology studies confirmed the well-developed particles formed on rGO sheets. UV-Vis's analysis provided absorbance data and band gap values, while elemental analysis confirmed the presence of copper, oxygen, and carbon. FT-IR spectra identified metal-oxygen bonds within the 600-400 cm¹ range in both CuO and rGO/CuO. These materials demonstrate broad potential applications, including photocatalysis, antioxidant and antifungal activities, sewage and industrial dye water treatment, energy storage, and corrosion resistance.EnglishrGO, CuO, Green synthesis, Reflux method, Characterizationhttps://journal.stenvironment.org/abstract?id=234References1619
