Title: Scalability of metal cluster synthesis
Post by: phth on July 08, 2015, 01:07:56 AM
If trying to conduct a chemical reaction on a metal surface, e.g. a toluene:hydrocarbon mix+PEG to form metal clusters 5-10nm.  I have spoken with a biomed engineer, who said the biggest scale they work on is 1L preparation batches.  Does anyone have experience or understand the limitations?  Is this just tough because of agglomeration?
