Several methods exist for synthesizing uniform nanoparticles, each with its own advantages and limitations.
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method involves the chemical reaction of vapor-phase precursors to produce nanoparticles with controlled size and composition. Sol-Gel Process: This involves the transition of a solution system from a liquid "sol" into a solid "gel" phase, allowing precise control over particle size and distribution. Hydrothermal Synthesis: This process uses high temperature and pressure conditions in aqueous solutions to produce uniform nanoparticles. Microemulsion Technique: This method employs the use of surfactants to form micro-sized droplets, which act as nanoreactors for particle formation.
