Several methods are employed to synthesize crystalline nanostructures:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where gaseous reactants form solid materials on a substrate, enabling the creation of high-purity nanostructures. Sol-Gel Process: Involves the transition of a system from a liquid "sol" into a solid "gel" phase, allowing for the fabrication of nanostructured materials. Hydrothermal Synthesis: Uses high-temperature and high-pressure aqueous solutions to grow nanocrystals with controlled size and shape. Electrochemical Deposition: A technique where ions in a solution are reduced to form a solid material on an electrode, useful for creating nanostructured coatings.
