Abstract

Ecodesigns for nano-sized noble metal particles were investigated by a new liquid-solid (metal oxide-alcohol) system. We have reduced noble metal oxides as low-emission starting materials by ultrasound and tried to fabricate various noble metal nanoparticles (Ag, Au, Pt, Pd) at room temperature, Noble metal oxides were investigated during decomposition. These reductions are ecologically clean, because many noble metal oxides are not toxic, and during decomposition, O2 is evolved. By choosing suitable conditions, it is reasonable to expect that this simple sonochemical process can be extended to obtain nano-sized metal particles.
