“…6). Except for the hard metals Mo 0 and W 0 , all the asprepared metal nanoparticles were crystalline as indicated by HRTEM, SAED, and XRD [9]. Mo 0 , W 0 , Fe 0 , Ru 0 , Re 0 , Zn 0 , and Ti 0 nanoparticles were obtained via reduction of less-expensive, commercially available metal chlorides (i.e., MoCl 5 , WCl 6 , FeCl 3 , RuCl 3 , ReCl 5 , ZnCl 2 , TiCl 4 2THF) by injection of [NaNaph] solutions in DME or THF (Tab.…”
