dimensional nanomaterials. Various synthesis methods can be used to produce
environmentally applicable nanoparticles and one-dimensional nanomaterials. However,
in general, liquid (e.g., sol-gel deposition/processes, forced hydrolysis, the
microemulsion method, solution phase growth) and gas phase (e.g., vapor phase
reaction/growth) routes are the two common synthesis methods for the production of
nanomaterials. Compared to liquid phase synthesis routes, gas phase techniques produce
nanoparticles with better homogeneity and relatively shorter production time, and
therefore, can be readily scaled up for industrial level production.
Currently, there is a great need to produce nanoparticles with strict control on
size and other characteristics so that a correlation between particle properties and
resultant functionalities and physical/chemical/biological effects can be determined.
With an understanding of each synthesis method and nanomaterials synthesized via
different kinds of methods, one can make an elucidated selection for different purposes.
In addition, basic fundamentals and concepts of various synthesis methods can guide the
readers towards their goals.
