Methods and strategies for the synthesis of diverse nanoparticles and their applications: a comprehensive overview

Abstract

Various methods to synthesize diverse nanoparticles with their different applications.

Electrochemical Detection of Nitrite Using Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Silver Nanospheres (AgNS) Obtained by Green Synthesis Using Pre‐hydrolysed Liquor

“…However, electrodes based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess advantages in the form of high conductivity (highest among the noble metals) and associated low cost. And, it is very obvious that the catalytic activity of any material largely depend on the surface area and adsorption characteristics that in turn depend on the method of preparation [24]. Though, there are many synthetic routes developed to produce a range of nano sized silver [25][26][27], they either employ harsh reaction conditions, toxic reducing agents and organic solvents which are not environmentally benign or result in agglomerated nanoparticles.…”

Lab on Fiber Technology for biological sensing applications

“…Bottom‐up methodologies involve the synthesis of materials, through chemical reactions, permitting to the forerunner elements to grow in dimension. Examples of bottom‐up methods include Chemical Vapour Deposition, sol–gel processing, self‐assembly (SA) and bio‐assisted synthesis, electroplating, flame spraying synthesis and atomic or molecular condensation .…”

Controlling the Growth of LiBH4 Nanoparticles for Hydrogen Storage

“…In this context, stabilizing agents including surfactants are used to minimize the surface energy of nanoparticles (“naked” nanoparticles are not stable in solvents, both thermodynamically and kinetically, due to their high surface Gibbs energy). The use of surfactants can also facilitate the control of the morphology and size of nanomaterials during synthesis, because surfactants have been reported to influence the nucleation and growth process of nanoparticles and stabilize specific surface planes . Such an approach of solvent precipitation with surfactants has been proven to be very effective for the synthesis of various types of inorganic nanoparticles including catalysts and quantum dots .…”
