How Does the Chemical Environment Affect Nanomaterial Synthesis?
During the synthesis of nanoparticles, the chemical environment dictates the growth and formation of nanostructures. For example, the choice of solvents, reducing agents, and stabilizers in chemical synthesis methods such as sol-gel process or hydrothermal synthesis directly affects the morphology, size, and distribution of the nanoparticles. A carefully controlled chemical environment can lead to the production of nanomaterials with desired properties and high yield.
