Physics:Solvated metal atom dispersion
From HandWiki
Solvated Metal Atom Dispersion is a method of producing highly reactive[1] solvated nanoparticles. Samples of a metal (or ceramic)[1] are heated to evaporate free atoms (or species), as in PVD evaporation. This vapor is then co-deposited with a suitable organic solvent (e.g. toluene)[2] at very low temperatures (on the order of 70K) to form a solid mixture of the two.[3] This is then warmed towards room temperature, producing solvated metal atoms or (over time) larger clusters. Sometimes, catalyst supports (such as SiO2 or Al2O3) are added to improve nucleation,[4] as the process can more readily take place on surface OH groups.
