“…However, deciding which parameter plays a decisive role in the resultant formation of the desired NPs remains a challenge. Furthermore, we found studies on PLAL [34,67,72,92,[98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111] that focused on single-parameter evaluation; however, the area of multiparametric analysis of laser parameters on nanoparticle formation can be explored.…”

“…In their review, Fazio et al [33] focused on laser-synthesised NPs for selected applications (i.e., sensing, biomedicine, and catalysis). Moreover, Naser et al [34] presented the parameters affecting the size of gold NPs prepared using PLAL. Xiao et al [35] reported the progress in external field-assisted laser ablation in liquid, an efficient strategy for nanocrystal synthesis and nanostructure assembly.…”

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid, used for nanoparticle synthesis from solid bulk metal targets (a top-down approach), has been a hot topic of research in the past few decades. It is a highly efficient and ‘green’ fabrication method for producing pure, stable, non-toxic (ligand-free), colloidal nanoparticles, which is often challenging using traditional chemical methods. Due to the short time scale interaction between the laser pulses and the target, it is difficult to achieve complete control on the physical characteristics of metallic nanoparticles. Laser process parameters, liquid environment, and external fields vastly effect the shape and structure of nanoparticles for targeted applications. Past reviews on pulsed laser ablation have focused extensively on synthesising different materials using this technique but little attention has been given to explaining the dependency aspect of the process parameters in fine-tuning the nanoparticle characteristics. In this study, we reviewed the state of the art literature available on this technique, which can help the scientific community develop a comprehensive understanding with special insights into the laser ablation mechanism. We further examined the importance of these process parameters in improving the ablation rate and productivity and analysed the morphology, size distribution, and structure of the obtained nanoparticles. Finally, the challenges faced in nanoparticle research and prospects are presented.
