Abstract:
A method for the synthesis and manufacture of metal nanoparticles using metal inorganic salts. The method is simple and uses inexpensive chemicals. The procedure produces nanometals in 100% yields. Method is scalable and produces nanoparticles in unlimited quantities. In this method, a metal inorganic salt is dissolved in a reaction medium, comprised of a solvent and organic amine to create a metal/amine complex. A reducing agent, comprised of a solvent and Sodium Borohydride (NaBH4), is then mixed with the metal/amine complex through titration or through a continuous flow process. The resulting nanoparticles are then precipitated through the addition of methanol and centrifugation and decanted. The decanted nanoparticles can then be suspended in a solvent for storage.
