The synthesis of anisotropic nanomaterials typically involves methods that promote directional growth. Common techniques include:
Template-Assisted Synthesis: Using a template to guide the growth of nanomaterials in certain directions. Seed-Mediated Growth: Initiating growth from a seed particle that dictates the final shape and anisotropy of the nanomaterial. Self-Assembly: Leveraging the natural tendency of certain molecules to organize themselves into anisotropic structures.
