Abstract
There is a growing need for new techniques to synthesize metallic copper nanoparticles due to their remarkable use in many advanced technologies. Herein, a novel method to synthesize stable and nonagglomerated zero-valent copper nanoparticles (ZVCNPs) via the in situ formation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) during the electrospinning process in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone as a carbon source is presented. X-ray diffraction, Raman...
