METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING METAL NANO-PARTICLES USING ALTERNATING CURRENT ELECTROLYSIS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for manufacturing metal nano-particle using an alternating current electrolysis method are provided to improve the yield of metal nano-particles by constantly maintaining the concentrations of a reducing agent and a dispersing agent. CONSTITUTION: Electrolyte and a dispersing agent are dissolved in deionized water in a reaction container(10) in order to prepare an electrolytic solution(60). A first electrode(32) and a second electrode(34) are separately installed in the electrolytic solution. The electrodes are based on the same material as metal nano-particle. Alternating current power is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode in order to ionize the metal of the first electrode and the second electrode into the electrolytic solution. A reducing agent is introduced into the electrolytic solution in order to synthesize metal nano-particle.
