What are the common methods used in nanomaterial synthesis?
Several common methods are employed in the synthesis of nanomaterials, including top-down and bottom-up approaches. In the top-down approach, larger structures are broken down into nanoscale materials through techniques like lithography and ball milling. Conversely, the bottom-up approach involves assembling nanomaterials from atomic or molecular precursors, using methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sol-gel processes, and self-assembly.
