A Review on Nanomaterials: Types, Synthesis, Characterization Techniques, Properties and Applications

Abstract

Nanotechnology is science, technology, and engineering that is directed at the nano scale (1-100 nm). This is a diverse and attractive field, owing to its unique properties and applications. The surface- to- volume ratio is the most important property of a material, which makes a clear difference between bulk materials and materials at nano scale. Nano can be referring to materials, particles, thin films, wires, fibers, etc. Nanotechnology is a revolutionary method for developing of new systems and technologies. In this study, the types of nano materials on their structures are discussed. The remarkable properties of the nanomaterials have also been explained. Common characterization techniques are explained and highlight the applications of nano materials. The conclusions of all the sections are presented at the end of the paper.

A Comprehensive Study of Electrocatalytic Degradation of M-Tolylhydrazine with Binary Metal Oxide (Er2O3@NiO) Nanocomposite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

“…Their advancement relies on the production of semiconductor nanostructure materials of different kinds of metal oxides, along with their unique morphologies at nano scales. Compared to their bulk substances, semiconductor nanostructure materials of different metal oxides have highly impressive physio-chemical properties, such as electrical, optical, mechanical, and magnetic properties, besides catalytic and thermal stability, and can be used for various purposes [10,11]. Similarly, advanced research on semiconductor nanostructure materials has also shown that doped semiconductor nanostructure metal oxides have gained popularity in the field of nanoscience as they have impressive and excellent enhanced physio-chemical properties [12][13][14].…”
