Micro/nano materials have unique properties that are different from macro materials because of their small scale, and these materials have diverse applications in many fields. In recent years, with the unique advantages of low consumption, high efficiency, high throughput, miniaturization, integration and automation, microfluidic technique has aroused widespread concerns in the synthesis field of micro/nano materials. In this review, the commonly used microreactors are classified from two perspectives of structural form and reaction method, and the application of microfluidic technique in the synthesis of micro/nano materials including inorganic materials, organic materials and composite materials are introduced. In addition, the main development trends in the future are prospected in this review. Microfluidic technique has provided new ideas and methods for the synthesis of micro/nano materials, which has rich possibilities and great potentials in both industrial production and academic research.

“…Microfluidic reactors have not only been used to empirically validate existing nanocrystal growth theories, but also to gain new insight into emerging MC QDs kinetics. Guidelli et al, [124] using a pressurized heated stainless-steel tube microfluidic reactor ( Figure 5C-I), synthesized zinc selenide (ZnSe) QDs in flow. ZnSe is a promising alternative to toxic Cd-and Pb-based QDs which exhibits good stability under harsh environmental conditions.…”

Semiconductors are intriguing due to their unique electrical properties, particularly the behavior of their electrons in the presence of different stimuli (e.g., electric field, magnetic field, light irradiation), which differ greatly from conducting (i.e., metals) and insulating materials. In insulators and semiconductors, the available electronic states are discontinuous, with the existence of a gap between the lower energy states, commonly referred to as the valence band (VB), and the higher energy states, known as the conduction band (CB). The distinguishing factor between these materials is the size of the energy difference between the highest energy state in the VB and the lowest energy state in the CB, called the band gap. In insulators, the band gap is very large, making it difficult, if not impossible, to cause an electron to move from the VB to the CB. By comparison, semiconductors possess narrow to moderate band gaps, implying that it is possible to introduce enough energy to an electron to cause it to move from the VB to the CB, enabling electron transfer, the use of high energy electrons, or the emission of energy (i.e., photons) when the electron returns from the CB to the VB. The wide range of industrial application-specific requirements demands versatility in the target characteristics of semiconductor materials (e.g., size, morphology, composition, band gap, emission wavelength), which are vastly different from those commonly used in thin-film transistors. Typically, the semiconductor materials synthesized for use in the above applications are particulate materials produced across a range of sizes spanning five orders of magnitude (from just a few nm to hundreds of µm), and can be divided into two overarching categories, nano-and microsized particulate materials. Nanosized semiconductor materials, due in large part to their miniscule dimensions, present a variety of intriguing characteristics not observed in microsized semiconductor particles. First and foremost, if the dimensions of the semiconductor material decrease below a certain threshold known as the Bohr radius, the absorption and emission energies become highly dependent on the particle size, a phenomenon known as quantum confinement. [28-30] Moreover, nanosized structures have significantly larger surface-to-volume ratios which increases the surface contribution to the total free energy of the semiconductor materials, making them highly soluble [29] and therefore much easier to process and handle. Thus far, nanosized semiconductor particles have been effectively utilized in sensors, [7] LEDs, [9] Controlled synthesis of semiconductor nano/microparticles has attracted sub stantial attention for use in numerous applications from photovoltaics to photo catalysis and bioimaging due to the breadth of available physicochemical and optoelectronic properties. Microfluidic material synthesis strategies have recently been demonstrated as an effective technique for rapid development, controlled synthesis, and continuous manufacturing of solutionpr...
