The obtained nanocomposites are of a type - inert matrix/Cu-Sn (Ni-Sn) nanoparticles. Porous carbon (C-foam), carbon powder (C-powder) and AlN-powder (commercial products) have been used as supports. The influence of the quantity of citric acid as a surfactant on the morphology of the Cu-Sn nanoparticles deposited on and inside the C-foam pores has been studied. A physico-chemical investigation of the prepared nanocomposites based on Cu-Sn (Ni-Sn) nanoparticles is carried out with SEM/EDS, and XRD analyses.enArticle
