Synthesis of Co, Ni, and Cu Composites in a Glassy Carbon Matrix

An investigation is performed of the effect the nature of organic anions of cobalt, nickel, and copper salts have on the results from synthesizing composite materials consisting of nanodispersed particles of these metals, distributed in a glassy carbon matrix The uniformity of the distribution of metal particles in the matrix is studied, and their sizes are estimated. The morphologies of the composites synthesized using 8‑hydroxyquinoline or benzoic, salicylic, phthalic, and N -phenylanthranilic acids are compared.
