Abstract

Preparative methods for the reduction of simple and complex metal oxides by supercritical isopropanol (SCI) were developed. Procedures for effective work with SCI under usual laboratory conditions were suggested. Optimum reaction conditions (temperature and pressure) and reagent ratios for reactions between SCI and metal oxides were found. Disperse oxides coated by fine-dispersity metals that could be used as catalysts were prepared. Simple methods for obtaining metal nanoparticles by the reduction in situ of metal oxide nanoparticles stabilized in polyethylene and synthetic silica (opal) matrices with SCI were developed.
