Generation of Nickel Nanoparticles in the Presence of Monobasic Saturated Acids

摘要

At present, the nanoparticles of iron, nickel, cobalt, and noble metals are actively studied. The nickel-based nanoobjects synthesized to the moment possess a magnetoresistance and a superparamagnetism. One of methods for generating metal nanoparticles is the polyol synthesis, which is actively developed at present. It is based on the reduction of precursors up to metals at their heating in the medium of polyatomic alcohols, which act both as a solvent and as a reducing agent. There are several works devoted to the generation of nickel nanoparticles by the polyol method, however they scarcely consider the influence of surfactants on the morphology of forming particles.
