Storage & Handling
Cuprous oxide nanoparticles are highly unstable when exposed to air and should be stored in vacuum-sealed containers in a cool, dry environment. Avoid exposure to stress or humidity. Over time, a small fraction may oxidize to CuO (Copper Oxide) or revert to metallic copper, which is normal and does not significantly affect performance.
Applications
