Achieving precise control over the shape of nanomaterials involves various synthesis techniques:
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Used to grow one-dimensional structures like nanorods and nanotubes. - Sol-Gel Methods: Employed for creating nanoparticles with controlled shapes and sizes. - Template-Assisted Methods: Utilize templates to guide the growth of nanomaterials into desired shapes. - Self-Assembly: Leverages molecular interactions to form nanomaterials with complex shapes.
