Transmetalation Process as a Route for Preparation of Zinc-Oxide-Supported Copper Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Supported nanoparticulate materials have a variety of uses, from energy storage to catalysis. In preparing such materials, precision control can often be achieved by applying chemical deposition methods. However, ligand removal following the initial deposition presents a substantial challenge because of potential surface contamination. Traditional approaches normally include multistep processing and require a substantial thermal budget. Using transmetalation chemistry, it is possible to circumvent both disadvantages and prepare chemically reactive copper nanoparticles supported on a commercially available ZnO powder material by metalorganic vapor copper deposition followed by very mild annealing to 350 K. The self-limiting copper deposition reaction is used to demonstrate the utility of th
