Wet chemical synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles: a review

Abstract

Metal oxide nanoparticles are an important class of nanomaterials that have found several applications in science and technology.

Synthesis of (Bi1−xSbx)2S3solid solutionsviathermal decomposition of bismuth and antimony piperidinedithiocarbamates

“…10 Colloidal synthesis of nanostructures in surface passivating agents has proven to be an efficient route as it provides easy control over size and shape. 35,36 Wang et al used a dual precursor source route to synthesize a full range solid solution of (Bi 1Àx Sb x ) 2 S 3 with aspect ratios that depended on their compositions. 1 Patra et al did similar work using diethyldithiocarbamate complexes in oleylamine and thiol.…”

An Up-To-Date Review on Biomedical Applications of Palladium Nanoparticles

“…The chemical route allows for the adjustment of reaction conditions, such as the concentration of precursors, additives or surfactants, temperature, and pH, to achieve the desired nanomaterial [52]. For example, porous PdNPs and palladium (Pd) nanocubes were synthesized by a similar procedure that used H 2 PdCl 4 as a precursor, sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) as a reducing agent, and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a stabilizer agent; however, the time and temperature were controlled to form the PdNPs with different shapes [53,54].…”

Nanosized Pinning Centers in the Rare Earth-Barium-Copper-Oxide Thin-Film Superconductors

“…The sol-gel methods usually yield a sufficient amount of material but it may sometimes be difficult to obtain very fine nanoparticles or the desired morphologies. Wet chemical synthesis, such as solvothermal and hydrothermal synthesis, as well as microwave-assisted or flow synthesis, may also be possible methods from which to choose [170]. This family of synthesis offers wide possibilities in terms of control of sizes and shapes of oxide metal nanomaterials.…”
