wire electrical explosion method A synthesis method for metal nanopowders that consists of passing a pulse of a high-density current (10^4 to 10^6 A/mm^2) through a wire causing the explosive disintegration of the metal (accompanied by a bright flash of light, a shock wave, the dispersion of the metal, and the fast expansion of a mixture of boiling metal droplets and vapour to the surrounding medium) and the production of metal , particles with characteristic sizes of tens of μm to a few nm.
