Reversible redox cycling of well-defined, ultra-small Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles
Exceptionally small and well-defined copper (Cu) and cuprite (Cu2O) nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by the reaction of mesitylcopper(I) with either H2 or air, respectively. In the presence of sub-stoichiometric quantities of ligands, namely stearic or di(octyl)phosphinic acid (0.1-0.2 equivalent...
