There are several methods to synthesize metal nanocatalysts, including:
- Chemical Reduction: Metal salts are reduced using chemical agents to form nanoparticles. - Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Metals are vaporized and then condensed onto a substrate. - Electrochemical Deposition: Metals are deposited onto electrodes through an electrochemical process. - Sol-Gel Method: Metal precursors are dispersed in a liquid to form a gel, which is then dried and calcined to produce nanoparticles.
