More Information
Summary:Methods of synthesizing metal nanoparticles from a metal oxide ore are provided. The methods include adding a metal compound and a reducing agent to the metal oxide ore and contacting the metal compound and the reducing agent to form zero-valent metal nanoparticles. The methods also include contacting the metal oxide ore and hydrogen (H2) in presence of the zero-valent metal nanoparticles to form zero-valent metal and metal nanoparticles.
