Copper oxide (CuO) nanowire is an interesting material because of the versatile application of photocatalytic phase transition were investigated by the presence of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye under sunlight irradiation. In this view, CuO nanowire is critical to elucidate the growth mechanism of grain morphology which is specifically rise to the driving force accountable for the progression of 2D nanostructures. Among, the role of the ligands, were determined the chemical mechanism of CTAB including decomposition rate, adsorption constancy and nuclei formation etc. We have confirmed the non-linear trends of the thermal conductivity were enhanced between 25 to 45 degrees C, which attributes the various factors of the size and shape of the nanoparticles. On the other hand, the Raman studies were exhibited the strong peaks at 246 cm(-1), 307 cm(-1) and 596 cm(-1) where the points at 1517 cm(-1) and 1565 cm(-1) are signifies to assign the monoclinic orientation of E-g and A(1g) modes vibration. The photocatalyst were distinguished from the solution mixture by centrifugation to identify its stability and reusability nature at the end of the photocatalytic process. At each end of every cycle, the catalyst was removed from the solution mixture by simple filtration, washed thoroughly with pure ethanol and dried at 120 degrees C the dried sample used for new cycles. Thus, the driving trials suggest that the practically applicable to explore the nanostructures system for environmental applications such as active sludge, waste water remediation.
