Retarding oxidation of copper nanoparticles without electrical isolation and the size dependence of work function
Copper nanoparticles are susceptible to oxidation in air, which limits their applications. Here, the authors reveal correlations between the stability of a Cu nanoparticle and the structure of its passivating ligand, finding that short chain thiols are surprisingly more effective at retarding oxidat...

| Sumario: | Copper nanoparticles are susceptible to oxidation in air, which limits their applications. Here, the authors reveal correlations between the stability of a Cu nanoparticle and the structure of its passivating ligand, finding that short chain thiols are surprisingly more effective at retarding oxidation than longer chain ones. |
