It was shown that by varying the preparative conditions for the redox reactions between the phosphomolybdate complex of copper and an aqueous solution of silver(I) nitrate (the reaction time, the concentration of the metal salt, ultrasonic treatment) it is possible to control the content of the metal and the dispersion of its nanoparticles in composite materials containing silver nanoclusters and polyoxometalates.
