Summary: | The present invention relates to a process and an apparatus (10) for the production of chain agglomerations of nano-scale metal particles. Production is preferably carried out in an energy and time efficient way. Metal particles organized in an elongate arrangement are produced by feeding at least one decomposable moiety selected from the group consisting of organometallic compounds, metal complexes, metal coordination compounds and mixtures thereof into a reactor vessel (20). Within this vessel the decomposable moiety is exposed to a source of energy such that by exposition to a sufficient quantity of energy the metallic component can aggregate in chain agglomerations. These elongated nano-scale metal particles are deposited on substrates or collected in a cyclonic or centrifugal collector for storage or further use. |
