In this work, copper nanoparticles with narrow size distribution were fabricated with a wet chemistry method, in higher temperature, under argon atmosphere. In this process, 3-15 nm copper nanoparticles were produced with controlled size. The free standing catalysts were characterized by and transmission electron microscopy, electro diffraction.
