The synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles involves various chemical and physical methods. Some common techniques include:
Hydrothermal Synthesis: Utilizing high temperature and pressure to crystallize nanoparticles from a solution. Sol-Gel Process: A method involving the transition from a colloidal solution to a solid gel phase. Microemulsion: A technique where nanoparticles form in micro-sized droplets within an emulsion. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where gaseous reactants form a solid material on a substrate.
