Studying the synthesis of metal nanoparticles during the laser irradiation of targets in liquid media

Abstract

International audienceThe results from experiments on the laser irradiation of metallic targets of the copper group immersed in liquid are reported. Comparative studies of the formation of colloids during the laser irradiation of targets with varying (from moderate to ultrahigh) radiation intensities are conducted. The dependence of the size of obtained particles on laser irradiation conditions (pulse duration and radiation intensity) is revealed

Metal-based nanoparticles dispersed in glycerol: An efficient approach for catalysis

“…To the best of our knowledge, only few works (out of our contributions) concerning the synthesis of group 11 metal nanoparticles, have been described using neat glycerol as solvent [49,50]. Ag, Au and Cu nanoparticles were synthesized by laser irradiation, finding that the best way to control the size of MNPs (10-30 nm) was under continuous laser irradiation [49]. An and Zhang prepared hybrid nanoparticles consisting in AgX/Ag nanostructures, i.e.…”

New advantages and challenges for laser-induced nanostructured cluster materials: functional capability for experimental verification of macroscopic quantum phenomena

“…Our experimental conditions for synthesis (step #1) of a colloidal system by laser irradiation of the target (figure 1) are shown in table 1 (see [3]).…”
