Advances in Fabrication Techniques for Hybrid Nanomaterials

Abstract

This chapter summarises the pioneering milestone techniques in hybrid nanomaterials fabrication for various purposes and recent trends towards future manufacturing platforms. Fabrication techniques for hybrid nanomaterials involve combining two or more distinct types of nanoscale components, such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanosheets, and nanotubes, to create materials with enhanced or tailored properties. These techniques aim to take advantage of the unique characteristics of each component to create synergistic effects. Hybrid nanomaterials find applications in various fields, including electronics, catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicine. An overview of hybrid nanomaterial fabrication techniques that have emerged as promising approaches to design and synthesize novel materials with enhanced functionalities is presented in this chapter. The techniques discussed encompass both top-down and bottom-up methods, enabling precise control over the composition, structure, and properties of the resulting hybrid nanomaterials.
