Carbon-Coated Core Shell Structured Copper and Nickel Nanoparticles Synthesized in an Ionic Liquid

Abstract
A simple synthetic route to prepare carbon-coated copper or nickel nanoparticles is developed in an ionic liquid under microwave heating. The obtained products are characterized by XRD, UV-spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The morphologies are studied with the help of TEM, HRSEM, and HRTEM. A bulk transport property for carbon coated nickel is reported in this letter.
