Integrating Science and Education in a Comprehensive Chemistry Design Experiment:The Preparation of Copper(I) Oxide Nanoparticles and Its Application in Dye Water Remediation
To align with the national polices of energy saving and pollution reduction,a comprehensive design experiment was devised.Students are guided through the synthesis of copper(I) oxide nanoparticles and its subsequent application in the remediation of dye wastewater,examining the influence of various experimental conditions on the degradation efficiency.This experiment not only covers fundamental laboratory skills and the use of common instruments,but also introduces students to advanced concepts like nanomaterials preparation,oxidation degradation,and aquatic remediation.By adopting a research-oriented teaching approach,this experiment fosters independent thinking among students,effectively developing the scientific research and innovation abilities of undergraduates in lower grades and enhancing their sense of social responsibility.
