This work presents a one-step controlled method for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using an arc discharge in deionized water without subsequent thermal annealing. The synthesis conditions were varied by changing the arc discharge current from 2 to 4 A. Scanning electron microscopy images of samples synthesized at discharge current of 2 A revealed the formation of tenorite (CuO) nanopetals with an average length of 550 nm and a width of 100 nm, which had a large surface area. Arc discharge synthesis at 3 and 4 A current modes provides the formation of a combination of CuO nanopetals with spherical cuprite (Cu<sub>2</sub>O) nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 30 to 80 nm. The crystalline phase and elemental composition of the synthesized particles were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy and Energy dispersive analysis. As the arc discharge current was raised from 2 to 4 A, two notable changes occurred in the synthesized particles: the Cu/O ratio increased, and the particle sizes decreased. At 4 A, the synthesized particles were from 30 to 80 nm in size and had a spherical shape, indicating an increase in the amount of cuprite (Cu<sub>2</sub>O) phase. The optical band gap of the aqueous solutions of copper oxide particles also increased from 2 to 2.34 eV with increasing synthesis current from 2 to 4 A, respectively. This suggests that the proposed synthesis method can be used to tune the band gap of the final material by controlling the Cu/O ratio through the current of arc discharge. Overall, this work demonstrates a novel approach to the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles with controllable CuO/Cu<sub>2</sub>O/Cu ratios, which has the potential to be useful in a variety of applications, particularly due to the significant enhancement of photocatalytic abilities and widen the working spectral range.
