An
antioxidant copper particle with an
oxalic acid compound-modified surface and its preparation method are disclosed. The particle's outer surface is coated with a cuprous
oxalate complex film, and the particle's interior contains elemental
copper. The preparation method is as follows: First,
copper particles are mixed evenly with a solution, then
oxalic acid is added, and the solution is brought to a boil. At this time,
oxalic acid reacts with elemental copper or copper ions to form a cuprous
oxalate complex film on the surface of the copper particles. Heating is then stopped, and
centrifugation and washing are performed sequentially to obtain the
antioxidant copper particles with the oxalic acid compound-modified surface. In application, the cuprous
oxalate complex film can protect the copper particles and prevent them from being oxidized, thus giving the copper particles
antioxidant properties. The cuprous oxalate complex film is stable and will not age, degrade, or volatilize over time under
normal conditions, thus maintaining stable
antioxidant capacity, which is beneficial for the long-term preservation of copper particles. Therefore, the protective film designed in this way has stable
antioxidant capacity and is beneficial for the long-term preservation of copper particles.
