What are the Methods of Synthesizing SiO₂ Nanoparticles?
There are several methods to synthesize SiO₂ nanoparticles, including:
Sol-Gel Process: A widely used chemical method that involves the transition of a system from a liquid "sol" into a solid "gel" phase. Hydrothermal Synthesis: This method involves using high pressure and temperature conditions to produce SiO₂ nanoparticles. Flame Synthesis: A physical method where SiO₂ nanoparticles are formed through the combustion of silicon-containing precursors.
