The Spherical Copper Nanoparticle Grown at Water-Immiscible Interface of Castor Oiled Graphite-Epoxy Solid Electrode Surface

Abstract:

The copper nanoparticle at castor oil coated graphite-epoxy solid electrode soft intersurface was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The growth process follows a sphere particle growth process described by an exponential function with parent first order rate constant of 0.00341 s-1. The soft water-immiscible electrode surface tends to produce spherical particles. This study may be useful for the electroanalysis, and offers a new way to prepare a spherical nanometal particle.
