- Description
- Nanomaterials possess diverse applications across environmental, medical, and energy sectors, owing to their unique properties dictated by structure, size, composition, and morphology. These characteristics of nanoparticles are pivotal in materials science. Their distinctive properties made an interest in specific applications, prompting the exploration of synthesis methods tailored for various purposes, particularly in electrochemistry. This chapter examines a nanoparticle synthesis technique capable of producing nanoparticles suitable for diverse applications, emphasizing electrochemical synthesis. This method offers efficient fabrication of nanoparticles at low temperatures with high purity, presenting an environmentally friendly preparation approach. Electrochemical synthesis, particularly through electrodeposition, involves the controlled passage of an electric current between the electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution. This method yields stable nanoparticles with robust electrical contact, poised for utilization in batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, catalysis, optoelectronics, and beyond. The chapter elucidates the electrochemical synthesis process, underscoring its potential for advancing nanoparticle-based technologies across multiple disciplines. 2025 Elsevier Inc.
