Exploring the Potential of Laser Ablation for Multi-functional Nanoparticle Production
Abstract
Abstract
The extraordinary class of materials known as nanomaterials has come into being. A large variety of
elements with minimum one dimension between 1 and 100 nm are included. Reasonably designed
nanomaterials can have exceptionally large surface areas. Outstanding magnetic, electrical, optical,
mechanical, and catalytic capabilities that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts can be
created in nanomaterials. To achieve the necessary features tuning, nanomaterials’ size, shape,
synthesis conditions, and proper functionalisation can all be precisely controlled. One technique for
creating several types of nanoparticles is laser ablation. These include core shell nanoparticles,
semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and nanowires. Using this technique, species that have
been laser-vaporized in a background gas nucleate and proliferate to form nanoparticles. By rapidly
quenching vapour, high purity nanoparticles across the quantum size range (<10 nm) can be produced.
This study reports the laser ablation method’s benefits, including precise material removal, minimal
heat damage, and applicability across various fields, highlight its potential as a key tool in nanoparticle
synthesis and material processing.
