Effect of Poly(N-vinyl-pyrrolidone) on Electrochemical Production of Cu Nanoparticles

“…However, more flexible and wider control of the size, morphology, and other properties is expected for the processes utilizing electrodeposition. Some electrochemical methods for the production of the particles have been proposed, [17][18][19][20] metal oxides, metal hydroxides, and metals have been produced using alkaline electrolytes. 17 The production of nanopowders containing copper from organo-aqueous electrolyte solutions has been reported, 18 and metal oxide particles have been obtained in an organic electrolyte.…”

“…17 The production of nanopowders containing copper from organo-aqueous electrolyte solutions has been reported, 18 and metal oxide particles have been obtained in an organic electrolyte. 19 The electrochemical production of cuprous oxide and metallic nickel was investigated in a two-compartment cell. 20 It is known that rough or "dendritic" features are obtained under diffusionlimited conditions.…”
