What are the Methods of Synthesizing Metal Salt-Derived Nanoparticles?
Several methods are used to synthesize nanoparticles from metal salts, including:
1. Chemical Reduction: Metal salts are reduced using chemical agents to produce nanoparticles. 2. Sol-Gel Process: Metal salts undergo hydrolysis and polycondensation to form a gel, which is then dried and calcined to produce nanoparticles. 3. Biological Methods: Microorganisms or plant extracts can reduce metal salts to form nanoparticles, offering an eco-friendly alternative.
