In Situ Quick XAFS Study on the Formation Mechanism of Cu Nanoparticles Synthesized in Aqueous Phase

Nishimura S., Takagaki A., Maenosono S., Ebitani K., Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, JP

The formation mechanism of copper nanoparticles (NPs) using poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) as a capping agent was investigated by measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in situ time-resolved X-ray adsorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis, [...]
