The synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials involves various methods:
1. Top-Down Approaches: Techniques like lithography and ball milling break down bulk materials into nanoscale particles. 2. Bottom-Up Approaches: Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sol-gel processes, and hydrothermal methods build up nanoparticles from atomic or molecular precursors. 3. Green Synthesis: Utilizing biological organisms or plant extracts to synthesize nanoparticles in an eco-friendly manner.
