The invention provides a method for preparing superfine
copper nano particles by utilizing immiscible liquid-liquid two-phase interface reaction. The method comprises the following steps of firstly, dissolving a
copper salt into a non-polar
solvent to prepare a
copper-containing source solution or dissolving a
copper salt into a non-polar
solvent and then emulsifying witha polar
solvent to prepare a copper-containing source solution, and dissolving a
reducing agent into the polar solvent to prepare a reducing solution; forming an immiscible two-phase
system by the reducing solution and the copper-containing source solution, thereby obtaining a stable liquid-
liquid interface; and at certain temperature, reacting at the liquid-
liquid interface to generate the superfine copper nano particles. The method can be used for preparing the superfine copper nano particles with particle diameters smaller than 10 nanometers, and the superfine copper nano particles have fewer impurities, pure components, good
crystallization quality, and uniform sizes and morphology, can be stably dispersed into the immiscible two-phase
system obtained by reaction without surface modifying and
coating, and can standfor a long time in normal-temperature air without being oxidized. The method is simple, is low in
energy consumption, is low in cost, is easy to control, and is high in practicability, and can be used for continuously preparing and gathering the superfine copper nano particles. Preferably, water and
oleic acid are adopted as a solvent, so that the preparation method is enabled to be non-toxic and environmentally-friendly.
