Copper Nanopowder’s Description and Details

Copper Nanopowder is a fine powder of copper. It consists of copper nanoparticles ranging from 10 to 100 nanometers. It has a deep reddish brown or very dark brown color. It has a high surface-to-volume ratio. Copper Nanopowder is a good conductor and has high catalytic activity. It also has remarkable antibacterial properties. Its small size and high porosity give it a greater yield and shorter reaction time when used as organic and organometallic synthesis reagents. In an iodobenzene condensation procedure, Copper Nanopowder achieved over 88% conversion, compared to only 43% conversion for commercial copper. It is an essential element in nano-devices, acting as a replacement for more expensive metals.

We provide Copper Nanopowder in a pack size of 500gm, 1kg, 5kg, and 10kg. The pack size and properties of the product are customizable as per the researcher’s requirements. We ensure that the quality of the product is well maintained. The product has excellent four-layer packaging in airproof containers, ensuring quality.

Researchers can request product customization to ensure that it meets their requirements. This can include altering the particle size, surface treatments, dispersion mediums, and purity levels. Our team is inclined to assist in this process, ensuring that the product is not only effective but also compatible with the intended applications.
