Abstract

Ultrafine metallic copper nano-cubes were synthesized by reduction of copper nitrate by superheated ethanol in 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid environment. Nanocubes were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transition electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Since all resources are environmentally-friendly substances, the presented procedure is highly sustainable and may be useful for numerous applications.
