The copper nanostructures produced by in situ laser synthesis reveal catalytic activity

摘要

The laser-induced metal deposition technique attracts a great interest not only due to its application in microelectronics and manufacturing of electrochemical sensors but also due to its possible implementation for in situ laser synthesis of nanostructured metal catalysts directly in the reaction mixture. In turn, the synthesized nano-sized metal structures may take part in organic catalysis using solvent as a reaction medium.
