Particle synthesis has seen significant advances in current trends. However, the synthesis of metal particles without oxidation is a challenge for researchers. The current study presents a straightforward, convenient, and convincing approach for manufacturing copper (Cu) particles free of surface oxide. The die-sink Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) of copper alloys with oleic acid resulted in the formation of Cu particles with diameters between 10 to 20 µm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for particle examination after cleaning and sonication with distilled water. Cu particles with oleic acid coating retained a Cu phase without oxidation after synthesis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the size and morphology of generated particles. Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) analysis revealed the oleic acid-coated Cu surface bonded with an oxygen atom. Also, the agglomeration and change of size involving Cu particles with increasing voltages in the pulse supply in EDM were reported.
在当前趋势下,颗粒合成取得了显著进展。然而,无氧化金属颗粒的合成对研究人员来说是一项挑战。当前的研究提出了一种直接、便捷且有说服力的方法来制造无表面氧化物的铜(Cu)颗粒。用油酸对铜合金进行电火花加工(EDM)沉模,形成了直径在10至20微米之间的铜颗粒。在用蒸馏水清洗和超声处理后,使用X射线衍射(XRD)对颗粒进行检测。合成后,带有油酸涂层的铜颗粒保留了无氧化的铜相。使用透射电子显微镜(TEM)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)来确定所生成颗粒的尺寸和形态。傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)分析表明,油酸包覆的铜表面与一个氧原子键合。此外,还报道了在电火花加工中,随着脉冲电源电压升高,铜颗粒的团聚和尺寸变化情况。
