Precisely Controlled Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles under Microwave Irradiation

Green synthesis of polysaccharide-based inorganic nanoparticles and biomedical aspects

“…Using microwave irradiation, metal nuclei are formed in the solution, with the ability to control the generation of nuclei and consequently particle growth. This has a very important implication, as allows the precise control of the size of metal NPs and their size distribution [26]. It is shown that a microwave-assisted heating procedure used in the production of chitosan sulfate-coated AuNPs reduces Gibb's free energy and induces the reaction activation [20].…”

Utilization of the microwave electric or magnetic field in the synthesis of monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles

“…13 Moreover, the microwave method facilitates the synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles, nanoalloys, and nanocomposites such as core-shell particles. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] But the specic features of the microwave electromagnetic waves have not been examined in the metal nanoparticle synthesis. In particular, the impact of the microwave magnetic eld on the heating of matter has almost been overlooked.…”
