2. 1. Bottom up approach means small to big (i.e. nanoparticles are made from atoms or
molecules by self assembly.
Atoms/molecules CVlusters Nanoparticles
Obtaining nanoparticles with Bottom up approach
3. Methods to obtain nanoparticles by bottom up approach:
• Sol-gel Process
• Supercritical Fluid synthesis
• Electro spinning method
• Chemical vapour deposition
• Laser pyrolysis
• Molecular Condensation
• Chemical Reduction
• Green Synthesis
4. Sol-gel process: is a versatile and widely used method for producing nanomaterials,
particularly nanoscale ceramics, metal oxides, and glasses.
Usage: Sol-gel process is widely used in applications such as catalysts, sensors, optical
materials, and coatings, among others.
Procedure:
Prepare precursor.
Chemical reaction (Hydrolysis).
Polymerization: sol solution- gel
solid.
Drying
Characterization with XRD/SEM
or TEM.
Storing the product
5. Supercritical Fluid synthesis: It is a supercritical fluid synthesis technique for obtaining
nanomaterials with precise control over size, shape, and composition.
Procedure:
Selection of Supercritical Fluid.
CO2/H2O or C2H2
Precursor Selection
Reactor Setup
Supercritical Fluid Processing
Precipitation
Collection/Characterization
Post-Synthesis Treatment
Usage: supercritical Fluid synthesis has applications in various fields, including drug delivery,
catalysis, materials science, and nanotechnology.
6. Electro spinning method
Definition: Electrospinning is an important method that used to obtain nanomaterials with a wide
range of applications.
producing nanofibers from a polymer solution or melt.
Advantages
Nanoscale Fiber Production: ranging from Nano size to micro size particles.
High Surface Area: suitable for applications where surface interactions are essential, such as sensors and catalysts.
Customizable Properties: producing nanofibers with specific properties like porosity, surface chemistry, and
mechanical strength.
Versatile Materials: with a wide range of materials, including polymers, ceramics, and composites
Continuous Production: suitable for large-scale manufacturing.
Variety of Applications: drug delivery, energy sources, sensors…
8. Chemical vapour deposition Method (CVD)
Definition of CVD:
Is the formation of a non volatile solid film on a substrate by the reaction of vapour phase chemicals
that contain the required constituents.
Key factors in CVD:
• Substrate material: which are going to coat or modify.
• Substrate temperature: the temperature that substrate will not change its any kind of
properties.(200-2200C)
• Composition of reaction gas Mixture: which type of gas we are going to used.
9. How CVD works: Precursors which is reagent in gas phase, then there is some kind of
absorption and surface reactions is taking place with the substrate itself and then at last film is
growing on to the substrate.
Procedure:
Precursor Selection.
Substrate Preparation
Reactor Setup
Precursor Delivery
Chemical Reaction
Control Parameters
Characterization
Post-Synthesis Treatment
10. Laser pyrolysis
Definition:
Laser pyrolysis is an advanced technique used for the synthesis of nanoparticles with precise
control over size, composition, and morphology.
How it works:
Using laser beam
In this method using a high-energy laser beam to rapidly heat and vaporize precursor materials
in a reactive gas atmosphere.
Breaks Chemical bonds
The laser energy breaks chemical bonds within the precursor molecules, leading to the
formation of atomic and molecular species.
Forming new Particles
particles recombine and condense to form nanoparticles.
12. Molecular condencation
Is a chemical Process to motivate the precursor molecules or atoms to
promote self-assembly and condensation into nanoscale structures.
Procedure:
Precursor Selection.
Reaction Conditions
Nucleation and Growth
Shape and size control
Characterization
Nanoparticle Synthesis: Molecular condensation is commonly used to produce nanoparticles of
various materials, such as metal, semiconductor, and oxide nanoparticles.
13. Chemical Reduction
Chemical reduction methods are based on the fundamental principle of using reducing agents to
convert precursor compounds into nanomaterials.
Procedure:
Precursor Selection.
Reduction Reaction/ introducing the agent
Nucleation and Growth
Nanoparticle Synthesis: is used to produce metal nanoparticles (e.g., gold, silver, platinum) and
metal oxide nanoparticles (e.g., iron oxide, titanium dioxide).and we synthesized quantum dots,
energy materials, nanowire. etc
Nucleation and Growth
Shape and size control
Characterization
14. Green synthesis
In green synthesis we use natural product such as leaves of tree/crops or fruits for the synthesis
of metal or metal oxide NPs
impotance:
Eco-friendly
Sustainable
Free of chemical contamination
Less expensive
Can be used for mass production
Nanoparticle Synthesis: Green-synthesized NPs, particularly using plant extracts, in drug
delivery, imaging, and cancer therapy, other kind of medicine etc.
