Nanoparticles are been produced in a microreactor under different operating conditions, spefically under supercritical CO2. The known organometallic chemistry is been used to create Pd-nanoparticles. Compared to the batch process the processing time could be drastically reduced by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore the shape, the size and the distribution of the nanoparticles will be different. The presentation will discuss the result.
