Synthesis And Applications Of Copper Nanopowder - A Review

Copper nanopowder demonstrates excellent conductivity, catalytic behaviour, excellent compatibility and antibacterial properties. Copper nanopowder has been used as an essential component in the future nano-devices, a wide range of industrial applications and used as a replacement for more expensive metals. Copper nanopowder properties are strongly influenced by shape, size and size distribution which are often varied by varying the synthetic methods. Accordingly, this review presents different of synthetic methods of copper nanopowder and applications of this nanopowder in different fields.
