The process typically involves dissolving metal salts in a solvent to form a homogeneous solution. A precipitating agent is then added to the solution, causing the metal ions to form insoluble compounds that precipitate out. The key steps include:
- Dissolution: Metal salts are dissolved in a solvent. - Precipitation: The precipitating agent is added to induce the formation of nanoparticles. - Aging: The precipitate is aged to allow for crystal growth and stabilization. - Separation: The nanoparticles are separated from the solution, often by centrifugation or filtration.
