Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

70 ml of purified water was added to 8 g of anhydrous copper acetate (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). Thereto was added 1.32 ml of 64 wt % hydrazine hydrate while stirring at 25° C. so as to give a molar ratio of hydrazine to copper acetate of 0.6, thereby to carry out the reaction to obtain a precipitate of cuprous oxide. The average primary particle diameter and the average secondary particle diameter were 30 nm and 300 μm, respectively. The average secondary particle diameter in the colloidal dispersion, obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, was 80 nm.
