How is Supersaturation Used in Nanoparticle Synthesis?
Supersaturation is employed in various synthesis techniques, such as:
1. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Involves the deposition of a material from a vapor phase onto a substrate, where supersaturation facilitates nucleation and growth of nanomaterials. 2. Sol-Gel Process: A solution-based method where supersaturation leads to the formation of gels that can be processed into nanostructures. 3. Hydrothermal Synthesis: Uses high-temperature, high-pressure aqueous solutions to achieve supersaturation and create nanoparticles.
