The selection of precursors depends on several factors, including:
Desired Properties: The target properties of the nanomaterial, such as electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, or optical properties, influence the choice of precursors. Reaction Conditions: Factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts can dictate which precursors are suitable for a particular synthesis route. Safety and Handling: Precursors must be chosen with consideration of their toxicity, flammability, and ease of handling.
