How are Gadolinium-Based Nanoparticles Synthesized?
The synthesis of GdNPs can be achieved through various methods, including co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, and sol-gel techniques. Each method has its own advantages and challenges. For instance, co-precipitation is relatively simple and cost-effective but may result in less uniform particles. Thermal decomposition, on the other hand, offers better control over particle size and shape but is more complex.
