Copper Nanoparticles

hello chemists of reddit, i’m a sculptor looking for some help with my practice, i recently discovered a way to coat steel and other metals in a thin copper plating using copper nano particles LINK——-> https://youtu.be/AiML2lvwWY8?si=p9ARfPYqL49prSKD

i want to know how to synthesize the greenish black liquid seen in this video, any help would be appreciated, i’m very enamored by copper and the different patinas you can apply to it and anyone knowledge yall could provide would mean the world i will also send u a lil something if you help me super big time 😁

Hey there, I went to the guy's channel who made the video and found his playlist of his videos describing Copper Nanoparticle synthesis: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbQqm4rNo625VkmiQ-unNUP-cU7feBgxu Hopefully one of these videos will help! Looks like a few of these were posted in the same year as the original video you posted so those would be most relevant I assume

Just here to point out that vaguely related copper nanotubes led to one of the funniest acronyms that ever made its way into publication.
