Abstract:Despite innovations in the synthesis protocol of nanoparticles (NPs), the size distribution and uniformity of particles still remain as crucial attributes. Homogeneous and rapid nucleation is a critical phenomenon to obtain monodisperse nanoparticles. Herein, we have carried out the synthesis of metal nanoparticles in a customized microfluidic (MF) chip, with 18 omega-shaped micromixers, by using glycerol as a promising green solvent and reducing agent at various concentrations (10−80%), and simultaneous compa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
