Polyol-mediated synthesis of size-controlled copper nanoparticles under microwave irradiation
Polyol-mediated synthesis of size-controlled copper nanoparticles under microwave irradiation
In this research, well-dispersed zero-valent copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were successfully synthesized from a welldefined complex of [Cu(OH)(TMEDA)]2Cl2 in neat glycerol via a polyol method, under microwave irradiation (MW) assistance.
