Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for forming a copper coated particles includes combining a precipitating agent with a solution comprising copper nitrate and particles to forming coated particles. The particles are cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ) or carbon black. The coated particles are washed to obtain washed coated particles, the washed coated particles are filtered to obtain filtered coated particles, the filtered coated particles are dried to obtain dried coated particles, and the dried coated particles are calcined to obtain the copper coated particles. The copper coated particles have a reflectivity of electromagnetic radiation in a visible spectrum that is less than or equal to 5%, and a reflectivity of electromagnetic radiation in a near-IR and LiDAR spectrum that is greater than or equal to 5%.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method for forming a copper coated particles comprising: combining a precipitating agent with a solution comprising copper nitrate and particles, wherein the particles are cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ) or carbon black, thereby forming coated particles; washing the coated particles, thereby obtaining washed coated particles; filtering the washed coated particles, thereby obtaining filtered coated particles; drying the filtered coated particles, thereby obtaining dried coated particles; and calcining the dried coated particles to form the copper coated particles, wherein the copper coated particles have a reflectivity of electromagnetic radiation in a visible spectrum that is less than or equal to 5%, and the copper coated particles have a reflectivity of electromagnetic radiation in a near-IR and LiDAR spectrum that is greater than or equal to 5%. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the precipitating agent is selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and ammonium carbonate. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the precipitating agent is ammonium carbonate. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the particles are cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ). 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein drying the filtered coated particles comprises drying the filtered coated particles at a temperature greater than or equal to 100° C. and less than or equal to 140° C. for a duration greater than or equal to 0.5 hours and less than or equal to 5.0 hours. 6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein calcining the dried coated particles comprises calcining the dried coated particles at a temperature greater than or equal to 430° C. and less than or equal to 470° C. for a duration greater than or equal to 0.5 hours and less than or equal to 5.0 hours. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the particles are carbon black particles. 8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein drying the filtered coated particles comprises drying the filtered coated particles at a temperature greater than or equal to 100° C. and less than or equal to 140° C. for a duration greater than or equal to 5 hours and less than or equal to 15 hours. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein calcining the dried coated particles comprises calcining the dried coated particles at a temperature greater than or equal to 200° C. and less than or equal to 300° C. for a duration greater than or equal to 0.5 hours and less than or equal to 5.0 hours. 10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the copper coated particles comprise copper nitrate coated particles, copper hydroxide coated particles, or copper carbonate coated particles. 11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein washing the coated particles comprises washing the coated particles in a mixture of ethanol and water.
