Abstract

The formation process of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) capped by poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) using a wet-chemical reduction method was observed with in-situ time-resolved X-ray adsorption fine structure (XAFS) method in combination with other analytical techniques. XAFS analysis directly indicated that the Cu(OH)2 and Cu+ species were formed as intermediates, and their life-time were extended by adding PVP capping agent. The morphology analysis and indicator method also supported that both reticulated Cu(OH)2 structure and Cu+ intermediate remained for a long time with an increase in PVP capping agent. Our results suggested that the PVP capping agent plays an important role to the reaction kinetic resulting from extending the life-time of intermediates such as Cu(OH)2 and Cu+ species.
