Formation of Highly Antimicrobial Copper Nanoparticles by Electroless Deposition in Water
Metallic copper (Cu)nanoparticles (CuNPs)with mean diametersranging from 37 nm to 44 nm were synthesized by electroless deposition (chemical reduction)in an aqueous solution at 353 K. Cupric oxide (CuO) powder, which has low solubility in water, was used as the Cu(II) precursor. Gelatin and hydrazin...
