Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of Cu3N nanocrystals using two single-source precursors, bis (pyrrole-2-carbalpropyliminato) Cu(ii) (PPC) and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O.
To study the effect of time on the colloidal synthesis of Cu3N nanoparticles, copper(ii) nitrate was thermally decomposed at 260 °C for up to 60 min in octadecylamine as a stabilizing ligand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
