The process typically involves two main steps: seed preparation and growth. In the first step, small nanoparticles (seeds) are synthesized using a variety of methods such as chemical reduction, thermal decomposition, or solvothermal synthesis. These seeds are then dispersed in a solution containing the precursor materials. In the second step, the precursor materials are reduced or decomposed under controlled conditions, leading to the deposition of material onto the seeds and thus promoting their growth.
