Abstract

In this paper, we present results on the metal microcrystals and nanoparticles of Al, Cu and Al-Cu composite growth by arc-discharge with the system immersed in distilled water, under different conditions and varying the current from 50 to 150 A with constant voltage (27 V). These structures are characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Uv-Vis spectroscopy. Our results demonstrate that metal micro and nanostructures can be prepared at low cost with high quality.

Keywords: Metal microcrystals and/or nanoparticles; distilled water; arc-discharge immersed in liquid.
