NEW PROCESS FOR LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION OF MONODISPHERE NANOParticles. It is a process for producing metal nanoparticles, metal alloys, metal oxides and multimetal oxides, which comprises the steps of: a) reacting a metal salt dissolved in water with an alkali metal salt of C ~ 4 carboxylic acid ~ - ~ 25 ~ dissolved in a first solvent selected from the group consisting of C ~ 5- ~ 10 ~ aliphatic hydrocarbon and C ~ 6 ~ ~ 10 ~ aromatic hydrocarbon to form a metal carboxylate complex and b) heat said metal carboxylate complex dissolved in a second solvent selected from the group consisting of C ~ 6 ~ - 25 ~ aromatic hydrocarbon, C ~ 6 ~ - ~ 25 ~ ether, C ~ 6 ~ - ~ 25 ~ aliphatic and C ~ 6 ~ - ~ 25 ~ amine. |
