Abstract:
A continuous flow polymeric micro reactor, fabricated using a negative photo resist SU-8 on a 10 x 10 cm PEEK (polyetheretherketone) substrate by standard UV lithography, was utilized to synthesize palladium nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy, Selected Area Electron Diffraction and X-ray Diffraction. The Pd nanoparticles synthesized in the micro reactor were found to have a narrower size distribution when compared with those obtained by the conventional batch process.
