The synthesis of conductive nanomaterials involves various techniques, each suited for different types of materials:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Commonly used for the production of graphene and CNTs, this method involves the deposition of gaseous reactants onto a substrate. Sol-Gel Process: This technique is used to create metal nanoparticles by transitioning a sol (a colloidal solution) into a gel-like network. Electrochemical Deposition: Used for coating surfaces with thin layers of conductive materials, this method involves the reduction of metal ions onto a substrate. Polymerization: Conductive polymers are synthesized through chemical or electrochemical polymerization of monomers.
