Gases play a vital role in the synthesis of nanomaterials. For example:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Gaseous precursors are used to deposit thin films of nanomaterials on substrates. Sol-Gel Processing: Gaseous reactants can be involved in the sol-gel process to create nanostructured materials. Plasma-Enhanced Techniques: Gases ionized into plasma can be used to modify the surface properties of nanomaterials.
