Abstract

NaCuO2 has been prepared via electrodeposition from a sodium hydroxide/potassium hydroxide melt and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, and resistivity. Clusters of blue-black plate-like and needle crystals are grown at positive potentials on a platinum anode with a platinum or a zirconium crucible serving as the cathode and a platinum reference electrode. Details of the electrochemical procedure are described, along with a cyclic voltammogram. NaCuO2 exhibits temperature independent paramagnetism over the temperature range 30 – 300 K. Its room temperature resistivity is greater than 106 Ω-cm.
