“…Compared with pure Mg nanomaterials and Mg-polymer composites, Mg(OH) 2 and MgO nanomaterials presenting various morphologies such as spheres, lamellar, fibers, platelets, flowers, and cubes are much easier to be prepared by LAL, as listed in Table 1 [74,[81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91], and they are as abundant as those prepared using top-down and bottom-up techniques [92]. Hollow structures originate from the cluster aggregation on the bubble interfaces generated during LAL [93].…”

“…Mixtures of MgO and Mg(OH) 2 are the main products of LAL of Mg in water and aqueous solutions. Aside from Mg(OH) 2 and MgO phases, Mg 5 O(OH) 8 lamellar structures are also achievable in water [84]. Deduced from the formation of Mg(OH) 2 , MgO, and Mg 5 O(OH) 8 , LAL in water should produce a large amount of oxygen and hydroxyl species that can react with Mg atoms/ions ejected from the target.…”

“…Repetitive hydration and dehydration reactions must have occurred during LAL. Hence, the mixture of Mg(OH) 2 and MgO phases can be simultaneously produced after LAL of Mg in water [84].…”

“…Organic solvents such as acetone [91], ethanol [74], ethyl acetate [84], n-hexane [84], and their mixtures [74] can further enrich the products of LAL of Mg, as listed in Table 1. Unlike aqueous solutions, MgO is the dominant phase produced in organic solvents [28], sometimes in a high purity.…”

Diverse nanomaterials, in the forms of carbides, sulfides, oxides, metals, hydroxides, etc., have been synthesized by laser ablation in liquids (LAL) with metal targets as the dominant educts. Many advantages of LAL technique itself and its products have been revealed since 1983 when the first report about LAL was released. Different from traditional wet-chemical synthesis, one unique feature of LAL is its resultant extreme high-temperature and high-pressure local environment for the nucleation and growth of nanomaterials, despite being performed at room temperature. This extreme condition can induce the atomization and ionization of the target materials and liquid molecules to incur different chemical reactions. The laser, liquid, liquid additive, and target can significantly alter the local environment in a broad range. Thus, different phases and shapes of nanomaterials are producible even from the same target. Through directly comparing the products of LAL of 13 kinds of chosen representative metals synthesized under different conditions, this review presents and discusses current understandings, challenging issues, and perspectives related to the diversity of LAL-products, which is willing to promote a deeper investigation and discussion on a clear clarification of the chemical reactions and particle nucleation/growth processes.
