Al nanoparticles: Impact of media and current on the arc fabrication

Potato extract as reducing agent and stabiliser in a facile green one-step synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles

“…Thus, it shows a high dispersing ability in promoting the dispersion of modified-ZnO Nps which leads to an increase in the monodispersity and decreases the mean size (20 § 1.2 nm) of ZnO Nps (Figures 2 and 5). [26] A corresponding mechanism was reported for silver and gold nanoparticles using chitosan and starchÀglucose biopolymer ligands.…”

“…[26] Due to its long alkyl chain, starch easily dissolves the ZnO Nps and prevents their aggregation in distilled water. Thus, it shows a high dispersing ability in promoting the dispersion of modified-ZnO Nps which leads to an increase in the monodispersity and decreases the mean size (20 § 1.2 nm) of ZnO Nps (Figures 2 and 5).…”

Nitrate removal from water using iron nanoparticles produced by arc discharge vs. reduction

“…Recently, we have developed a modified arc discharge technique for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles [38][39][40][41][42]. The advantages of this technique are its cost effectiveness, purity, uniformity, and rather small size of the nanoparticles.…”

Copper Nanoparticles Obtained by Arc Discharge Method: Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties.

“…The rods are melted and vaporized in the region where the arc is generated. Thus, the vaporized metal in the chamber undergoes nucleation, growth and condensation [22], and finally turning into nanoparticles dispersed in deionized water. The low temperature deionized water can condense the submerged metal particles immediately and effectively.…”
