Diverse Synthesis and Characterization Techniques of Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanoparticles are small particles that range from 1 to 100 nm in size, exhibit several physical and chemical features. An understanding of nanoparticles would reveal great qualities and potential applications that would aid the diversification of thin film technologies. The synthesis methods employed like top-down, bottom-up, chemical, biological, and mechanical processes have great influence on the properties exhibited by such nanomaterials. This review covers an insight into the knowledge of nanoparticles, their classifications, parameters affecting their efficient performance, synthesis and characterization techniques of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are also characterized to obtain their morphological, structural, optical, elemental, size, and physiochemical features. The potential applications of nanoparticles have not been left undiscussed.

Investigating the properties of co-precipitated nickel cobalt phosphate (NiCoP) nanoparticles for energy storage applications

“…Nanotechnology is a trending aspect of science that involves material control and manufacturing on the molecular, atomic, and nanoscale. Nanoparticles are chemically reactive materials with dimensions below 100 nm [1,2]. They also exhibit quantum effects and unique physical properties like high mobility in the free state and specific surface areas.…”
