Abstract

Supercritical hydrothermal synthesis is a green synthesis method for metal and metal oxide ultra-fine particles. Ultra-fine copper particles are of great interests for the researchers because of the excellent performance in recent years. In this paper, supercritical hydrothermal synthesis of copper ultra-fine particles with three different precursors (CuSO4, Cu(NO3)2, Cu(HCOO)2) are reported. This thesis reports that different products are produced with different precursors. Also, three kinds of reaction mechanisms with different precursors in supercritical water were explained. The conversion of copper ions in the reaction of Cu(HCOO)2 in supercritical water is the highest, the value reaches 100.0%. In the process of synthesizing ultra-fine copper particles, different additional HCOOH concentrations (0, 0.1 mol/L, 0.2 mol/L) and different reaction times (5 mins, 10 mins) were applied. Zero-valent ultra-fine copper particles without impurity were synthesized. The synthesized copper ultra-fine particles were cubic aggregations with micro-meter size.
