How Does Reaction Time Influence Nanomaterial Quality?
Reaction time plays a pivotal role in determining the size and shape of nanoparticles. Shorter reaction times may result in incomplete reactions and smaller particles, while longer times can lead to larger, more crystalline structures. For example, in hydrothermal synthesis, extending the reaction time can improve crystallinity but may also result in larger particle sizes. Balancing reaction time is key to achieving desired nanomaterial properties.
