Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used as catalysts in the chemical industry, but their preparation is usually limited by strict conditions such as high temperature, elevated pressure, and the use of volatile and highly toxic organic solvents. To solve this problem, this work developed an environmentally benign method using green solvents, i.e., natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), as a reaction medium to prepare copper oxide (CuO) particles. The experimental results suggested that the synthesized CuO particles were sheet-like mesoporous NPs, and they exhibited excellent catalytic performance towards the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) in the presence of potassium monopersulfate (PMS). The catalytic activity of the synthesized CuO NPs was better than that of the reported metal oxide-based catalysts. Reactive species such as photoexcited holes, superoxide radicals, and singlet oxygen were involved in the RhB degradation. These results indicated that NADESs are good media for the preparation of CuO NPs, and exhibit the potential for application to the preparation of other metal oxides. |
