How are Inorganic Precursors Used in Nanotechnology?
In nanotechnology, inorganic precursors are utilized in a variety of methods such as Sol-Gel processes, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). These techniques enable the controlled synthesis of nanomaterials with precise morphological and compositional properties. For example, in the Sol-Gel process, metal alkoxides or metal chlorides serve as precursors that hydrolyze and condense to form metal oxide nanoparticles.
