Abstract

A method for producing a metal nanoparticle complex according to the present invention is a method for producing a metal nanoparticle complex in which metal nanoparticles are supported in pores of a porous body, said method comprising at least: an adsorption step of allowing an organic metal complex to adsorb in pores of a porous body; and a decomposition/reduction step of heating the porous body, which has had the organic metal complex adsorbed in the pores thereof, under a reductive atmosphere to decompose an organic compound in the organic metal complex adsorbed in the pores of the porous body and also reduce a metal cation in the organic metal complex, thereby causing metal nanoparticles to be supported in the pores of the porous body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing a metallic nanoparticle composite in which metallic nanoparticles are loaded into pores of a porous medium, the method comprising at least:
an adsorbing step to cause an organometallic complex to be adsorbed into the pores of the porous medium;
a decomposing step to decompose the organic compound of the organometallic complex that has been adsorbed into the pores of the porous medium by irradiating the porous medium, which has adsorbed the organometallic complex in its pores, with an ultraviolet ray; and
a consolidated decomposing and reducing step to decompose an organic compound of the organometallic complex that has been adsorbed into the pores of the porous medium by subjecting the porous medium, which has adsorbed the organometallic complex in its pores, to a heating treatment within a reducing atmosphere, and to reduce metal cations in the organometallic complex to load the metallic nanoparticles into the pores of the porous medium,
wherein in the consolidated decomposing and reducing step, the heating treatment is conducted at a temperature of 300° C. to 500° C.,
wherein the porous medium is at least one selected from the group consisting of: zeolite, porous silica, porous alumina, porous carbon, and metal-organic framework (MOF), and
wherein the pores have a mean pore size of 5 nm or less.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the decomposing step, the ultraviolet ray has an illuminance of 1 to 1000 mW/cm 2 at a wavelength of 360 nm.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adsorbing step has a process time of 1 to 24 hours.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the consolidated decomposing and reducing step, the heating treatment is conducted for a duration of 0.5 to 2 hours.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a constituent metal of the metallic nanoparticles is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of: titanium, vanadium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metallic nanoparticles have a mean particle size of 1 to 5 nm.
