Tailoring the Synthesis Method of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for Desired Properties

Abstract

Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONs) are particles with at least one dimension in the nanoscale range (1–100 nm). Their unique properties, significantly different from their bulk counterparts, make them promising materials for a wide range of applications in fields such as medicine, electronics, catalysis, environmental remediation, and energy storage. The precise control of MONs’ properties, including size, shape, composition, crystallinity, and surface chemistry, is significant for optimizing their performance. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of synthesis methods of MONs. Correlation between synthesis parameters and properties highlights that creating nanomaterials with defined and controlled dimensions is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of various factors. Also, this study presents a model with adaptive parameters for synthesis conditions to acquire desired nanometric scale for particles size, which represents an essential task.
