Finally, the review explores the importance of deposition purities in achieving optimal nanomaterial performance. This comprehensive review aims to provide valuable insights into state-of-the-art techniques and applications in the field of nanomaterial deposition.

Preparation of Co–Ni–Ce/TiC alloy coatings by double-pulse under a sulfamic acid system and a process mechanism study

“… 22 The negative shift of the co-deposition potential of TiC nanoparticles relative to that of Co–Ni–Ce is not significant, indicating that the addition of nanoparticles has less influence on the deposition effect potential in this system. 23 Additionally, when conducting the cyclic voltammetry test with a positive sweep, it was noticed that the potential of the oxidation peak in the CV became more positive with the addition of TiC nanoparticles. This suggests that the Co–Ni–Ce/TiC composite plating layer exhibits greater resistance to oxidation.…”

“…This suggests that the Co–Ni–Ce/TiC composite plating layer exhibits greater resistance to oxidation. 23 To gain further insights into the deposition mechanism of the ions and the related electrochemical parameters, CV and chronoamperometry tests were conducted at different sweep speeds for the Co–Ni–Ce system.…”

The Potential of Electrospinning to Enable the Realization of Energy-Autonomous Wearable Sensing Systems

“…32,33 Even though traditional needle-based electrospinning is a simple and versatile nanofabrication technique, low production yield, needle clogging, and limited capacity have limited its practical applications. 24 Moreover, the rapidly growing wearable electronics market necessitates a higher production rate, mandating alternative electrospinning techniques. Needleless electrospinning is a popular method, which uses a widely open liquid surface with a specially developed spinneret that is partially submerged in the electrospinning solution.…”

“…One approach is to use nanofabrication techniques to integrate sensing and electrical properties into fibers and fabrics. Among these methods, electrospinning has emerged as a plausible candidate for human in vitro and in vivo applications. , Various techniques such as printing, sputtering, spin coating, and chemical vapor deposition are employed to fabricate conductive substrates for wearable electronics. However, the application of mechanical stress such as stretching or bending can lead to the formation of microcracks, which can ultimately lead to a decrease in the conductivity of the electrodes .…”

Nanotechnology Approaches for the Remediation of Agricultural Polluted Soils

“…Nanoparticles have been generated through physical techniques, leveraging thermal energy, high-energy radiation, and mechanical pressure to induce material condensation, evaporation, abrasion, or melting. 14 Physical approaches surpass chemical methods by ensuring the absence of solvent contamination in thin films and a uniform distribution of nanoparticles. These methods follow a top-down strategy, eliminating the need for solvents and consistently producing monodisperse nanoparticles.…”
