How Does Temperature Affect Nanomaterial Properties?
Temperature is a critical factor in nanomaterial synthesis. High temperatures can enhance the crystallinity of nanoparticles but may also lead to increased size due to accelerated growth rates. Conversely, lower temperatures might produce smaller nanoparticles but may result in less crystalline structures. For example, in the thermal decomposition of metal precursors, temperature must be carefully controlled to balance between size and crystallinity.
