Dispersed crystalline copper particles were prepared by reacting aqueous dispersions of CuCl with ferrous citrate. We report that the Fe(II) citrate complex can reduce rapidly and completely cuprous chloride to metallic copper and propose a mechanism for the reaction observed. By changing the precipitation conditions, copper particles with sizes varying from 250 nm to 2.0 µm were obtained. The method described represents a simple and versatile approach for preparing copper powders for electronic applications.

ABSTRACTUltrafine copper particles were prepared by the thermal decomposition of a copper formate-poly(2-vinylpyridine) complex. At temperatures above 125°C, a redox reaction occurs where Cu+2 is reduced to copper metal and formate is oxidized to CO2 and H2. The decomposition reaction was studied by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and mass spectrometry. Copper concentrations up to 23 wt% have been incorporated into the polymer by this technique. The presence of the polymeric ligand induces the redox reaction to occur at a temperature 80°C lower than in uncomplexed copper formate. Incorporation of the reducing agent (formate anion) into the polymer precursor enables the redox reaction to occur in the solid state. Films of the polymer precursor were prepared and the formation of metallic copper particles were studied by visible and infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction techniques, and transmission electron microscopy. Results from these measurements indicate that spherical copper particles with an average diameter of 35angstrom are isolated within the polymer matrix. The particles are thermodynamically stable at temperatures up to the decomposition of the polymer matrix (≈350 °C), but oxidize rapidly upon exposure air.

Metallic copper nanoparticles were synthesized in the presence of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as the capping agent and L-ascorbic acid as the reducing agent in diethyleneglycol (DEG) solvent. The obtained copper nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The EDS and XRD results showed that the resultant particles were confirmed to be crystalline Cu with a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. It was also observed that the diameter of obtained copper particles ranging from 80 to 120nm via SEM and TEM.
