Abstract: Abstract Purpose: This study aims to provide an optimum pH to achieve a highly crystalline CuO nanostructures using a cost-effective facile single-pot wet chemical synthesis approach. Design/Methodology/Approach: The experiment was undertaken by varying the pH of a single-pot wet chemical precipitation synthesis of copper oxide using NaOH. Different pH of 8,10 and 12 were studied in synthesis B, C, and D respectively where all other conditions remained constant. The resulting synthesized powder samples were analyzed by the TEM and XRD characterization techniques. Findings: The results revealed that an increase in the pH influenced the morphology and the crystallography of the resulting particles. The formation of nanorod morphology increased respectively in B
