Copper oxide (chemical formula: CuO) is an oxide of copper, which is a black solid. It's a strong electrolyte. Insoluble in water and ethanol, soluble in acid, ammonium chloride and potassium cyanide solution, slowly dissolved in ammonia solution.
Preparation method in the laboratory: Cu (OH) 2 is generated by the reaction of copper salt such as CuSO4 with alkali (NaOH), and Cu (OH) 2 is heated and decomposed to obtain copper oxide .It can also be obtained by heating copper metal in the air, or heating decomposition of copper hydroxide, copper nitrate, basic copper carbonate method. Industrial processes include copper powder oxidation, copper nitrate thermal decomposition, copper carbonate thermal decomposition, copper wire or copper powder nitrification, conductivity water dissolution.
Copper oxide can be used as organic synthesis catalyst, analytical reagent, oxidant, catalyst and desulfurizer for petroleum; Used as colorant for glass, enamel, ceramic industry, anti-wrinkle agent for paint, polishing agent for optical glass. Used for manufacturing dyes, organic catalyst carriers and copper compounds. It is also used in rayon manufacturing industry and as a desulfurizer for grease. It is also a raw material for making artificial gems and can also be used as a burning rate catalyst and electrode active material for rocket propellant
