Effects of process parameters on Cu‐nanoparticle synthesis in tetraethylene glycol through microwave irradiation

Abstract

Copper nanoparticles were successfully synthesised through microwave irradiation of a copper‐oxide particle precursor dispersed in tetraethylene glycol. Initial results obtained after 4–6 min of irradiation, without the use of a surfactant, indicated nanoparticle aggregation and particle‐size bimodality by incomplete reduction. However, the said aggregation and bimodality were observed to be significantly suppressed with accelerated reduction upon addition of an alcohol‐type surfactant. Consequently, Cu nanoparticles measuring 74 and 79 nm in size were successfully synthesised by performing short irradiations lasting 3 and 4 min, respectively.
