PRODUCTION OF CHAIN AGGLOMERATIONS OF NANO-SCALE METAL PARTICLES

摘要

A process and apparatus (10 or 100) for producing nano-scale metal particles includes feeding at least one decomposable moiety selected from the group consisting of organometallic compounds, metal complexes, metal coordination compounds and mixtures thereof into a reactor vessel (20 or 120); exposing the decomposable moiety to a source of energy sufficient to decompose the moiety and produce nano-scale metal particles; and deposit or collection of the nano-scale metal particles.
