Abstract — Nanosized copper-containing powders were obtained by electrochemical synthesis in aqueous organic solutions of electrolytes. The size and shape of the resulting particles were determined by TEM. It was found that the electrochemical crystallization of copper-containing deposits is substantially influenced by the solvent nature. Adding an organic solvent to the electrolyte increased the dispersivity of the powders. A quali-tative analysis of the compounds obtained was carried out by electron diffraction analysis.
