AN OVERVIEW OF CLASSIFICATION, SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOMATERIALS

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the branch of science that deals with particles ranging from 1 to 100nm. Nanoparticles become technically advance over their parent material due to their adaptable characteristics and enhanced performance. They are mostly synthesized by reducing metal ion into uncharged nanoparticles by using hazardous reducing agents. In recent years, green technology for nanoparticles synthesis has received great attention due to its efficiency, less toxicity, safety and high productivity. Green synthesized particles at their nanoscale range are commercially and economically very beneficial for the environment. Moreover, this paper will discuss the nanoparticles, its types, synthesis methods, applications and prospects.
