Abstract

Nanoparticles less than 100nm in size have attracted significant interest over the past 20 years due to their unique properties led by quantum size effect. This chapter evaluates the synthesis methods in liquid phase conducted under operation in high/room temperature and at vacuum/atmospheric environment for nanoparticles and nanostructured materials. We draw attention to the fact that various synthesis methods for formation of colloidally stable matrix-free nanoparticles are available. These methods including chemical stain etching, electrodeposition methods, direct-precipitation methods, sol-gel methods, colloidal synthesis methods, hot-injection synthesis methods, hydrothermal and solvothermal methods, microwave-assisted synthesis methods, ultrasonic synthesis methods, and laser ablation in liquid-phase.

1. Introduction

Many breakthroughs over 30years have emerged following the advent of nanomaterials (NMs) research in natural sciences and engineering. Reducing the size of materials down to nanoscale leads to produce NMs with profound changes in its physical properties relative to the macro scale form [1]. This results in applications of nanostructured materials including optoelectronics, magnetic storage memory devices, and biomedical applications. To manufacture such NMs, two main approaches are carried out as follows: (1) top-down approach usually employs physical methods, for example, mechanical grinding, and (2) bottom-up approach often utilizes solution-phase chemistry, that is, wet chemical synthesis.

Liquid-phase synthesis methods have several advantages over other gas-phase and solid-phase synthesis methods [2,3]. For example, (1) liquid-phase synthesis i...
