Abstract — A possibility of the cathodic deposition of copper-containing nanopowders from organo-aqueous electrolyte solutions is studied. The dimension of particles is corroborated with a transmission electron microscope. Additions of low-molecular surfactants to aqueous electrolyte solutions lead to a decrease in the limiting cathodic currents thus promoting the formation of finely dispersed powder.
