SYNTHESIS OF
NANOPARTICLES
Materials having unique properties arising from their
nanoscale dimensions
Nanomaterials with fast ion transport are related also
to nanoionics and nanoelectronics
Nanoscale materials can also be used for bulk
applications
Nanomaterials are sometimes used in solar cells
which combats the cost of traditional solar silicon
cells
NANOMATERIALS
2 approaches
- bottom up approach
- top down approach
SYNTHESIS OF NANOMATERIALS
These seek to arrange smaller components into more
complex assemblies
Use chemical or physical forces operating at the
nanoscale to assemble basic units into larger
structures
examples :
1. Indiun gallium arsenide(InGaAs) quantum dots
can be formed by growing thin layers of InGaAs on GaAs
2. Formation of carbon nanotubes
BOTTOM UP APPROACH
These seek to create smaller devices by using larger
ones to direct their assembly
The most common top-down approach to fabrication
involves lithographic patterning techniques using
short wavelength optical sources
TOP DOWN APPROACH
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
3 methods of synthesis
Physical
Chemical
Biological
METHODS
2 methods
 Mechanical
1. High energy ball milling
2. Melt mixing
 Vapour
1. Physical vapour deposition
2. Laser ablation
3. Sputter deposition
4. Electric arc deposition
5. Ion implantation
PHYSICAL METHODS OF SYNTHESIS
Simplest method of making nanoparticle in the form
of powder
Various types of mills
• Planetary
• Vibratory
• Rod
• Tumbler
HIGH ENERGY BALL MILLING
Consists of a container filled with hardened steel or
tungsten carbide balls
Material of interest is fed as flakes
2:1 mass ratio of balls to materials
Container may be filled with air or inert gas
Containers are rotated at high speed around a central
axis
Material is forced to the walls and pressed against the
walls
Control the speed of rotation and duration of milling-
grind material to fine powder( few nm to few tens of
nm)
Some materials like Co, Cr, W, Al-Fe, Ag-Fe etc are
made nanocrystalline using ball mill.
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
To form or arrest nanoparticles in glass
Glass – amorphous solid, lacking symmetric
arrangement of atoms/molecules
Metals , when cooled at very high cooling rates (10⁵-
10⁶ K/s) can form amorphous solids- metallic glasses
Mixing molten streams of metals at high velocity with
turbulence- form nanoparticles
Ex: a molten stream of Cu-B and molten stream of Ti
form nanoparticles of TiB₂
MELT MIXING
EVAPORATION BASED METHOD
PHYSICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION
Material of interest as
source of evaporation
An inert or reactive gas
A cold finger(water or liquid
N₂ cooled)
Scraper
All processes are carried out in
a vacuum chamber so that the
desired purity of end product
can be obtained
Materials to be evaporated are held in filaments or
boats of refractory metals like W, Mo etc
Density of the evaporated material is quite high and
particle size is small (< 5 nm)
Acquire a stable low surface energy state
Cluster-cluster interaction- big particles are formed
Removed by forcing an inert gas near the source(cold
finger)
If reactive gases such as O₂, N₂,H₂, NH₃ are used,
evaporated material will react with these gases
forming oxide, nitride or hydride particles.
Nanoparticles formed on the cold finger are scraped
off
Process can be repeated several times
Vaporization of the material is effected by using
pulses of laser beam of high power
The set up is an Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) or high
vacuum system
Inert or reactive gas introduction facility, laser beam,
target and cooled substrate
Laser giving UV wavelength such as Excimer laser is
necessary
LASER VAPOURIZATION (ABLATION)
Powerful laser beam evaporates atoms from a solid
source
Atoms collide with inert or reactive gases
Condense on cooled substrate
Gas pressure- particle size and distribution
Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) are mostly
synthesized by this method
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
Thin film synthesis using lasers
Mixture of reactant gases is deposited on a powerful
laser beam in the presence of some inert gas like
helium or argon
Atoms or molecules of decomposed reactant gases
collide with inert gas atoms and interact with each
other, grow and are then deposited on cooled
substrate
LASER PYROLYSIS
Many nanoparticles of materials like Al₂O₃, WC, Si₃N₄
are synthesized by this method
Gas pressure- particle sizes and their distribution
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
Widely used thin film technique, specially to obtain
stoichiometric thin films from target material (alloy,
ceramic or compound)
Non porous compact films
Very good technique to deposit multi layer films
1. DC sputtering
2.RF sputtering
3. Magnetron sputtering
SPUTTER DEPOSITION
Target is held at high negative voltage
Substrate may be at positive, ground or floating
potential
Argon gas is introduced at a pressure <10 Pa
High voltage (100 to 3000 V) is applied between
anode and cathode
Visible glow is observed when current flows between
anode and cathode
DC SPUTTERING
Glow discharge is set up with different regions such as
- cathode glow
- Crooke’s dark space
-negative glow
-Faraday dark space
-positive column
- anode dark space
- anode glow
These regions are a result of plasma- a mixture of
electrons, ions, neutrals and photos
Density of particles depends on gas pressure
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
If the target to be spluttered is insulating
High frequency voltage is applied between the anode
and cathode
Alternatively keep on changing the polarity
Oscillating electrons cause ionization
5 to 30 MHz frequency can be used
13.56 MHz frequency is commonly used
RF SPUTTERING
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
RF/DC sputtering rates can be increased by using
magnetic field
Magnetron sputtering use powerful magnets to
confine the plasma to the region closest to the
‘target’.
This condenses the ion-space ratio, increases the
collision rate, and thus improves deposition rate
MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
When both electric and magnetic field act
simultaneously on a charged particle , the force on it
is given by Lorentz force.
F = q(E+ v X B)
By introducing gases like O₂, N₂,H₂, NH₃ , CH₄ while
metal targets are sputtered, one can obtain metal
oxides like Al₂O₃, nitrides like TiN, carbides like WC
etc- “Reactive sputtering”
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
Simplest and most useful methods
Mass scale production of Fullerenes, carbon
nanotubes etc
Consists of a water cooled vacuum chamber and
electrodes to strike an arc in between them
Gap between the electrodes is 1mm
High current- 50 to 100 amperes
Low voltage power supply- 12 to 15 volts
ELECTRIC ARC
DEPOSITION
Inert or reactive gas introduction is necessary- gas
pressure is maintained in the vacuum system
When an arc is set up ,anode material evaporates.
This is possible as long as the discharge can be
maintained
CHEMICAL METHODS OF
SYNTHESIS
Simple techniques
Inexpensive instrumentation
Low temperature (<350ºC) synthesis
Doping of foreign atoms (ions) is possible during
synthesis
Large quantities of material can be obtained
Variety of sizes and shapes are possible
Self assembly or patterning is possible
ADVANTAGES
Nanoparticles synthesized by chemical methods form
“colloids”
Two or more phases (solid, liquid or gas) of same or
different materials co-exist with the dimensions of at
least one of the phases less than a micrometre
May be particles, plates or fibres
Nanomaterials are a subclass of colloids, in which the
dimensions of colloids is in the nanometre range
COLLOIDS AND COLLOIDS IN
SOLUTION
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
Reduction of some metal salt or acid
Highly stable gold particles can be obtained by
reducing chloroauric acid (HAuCl₄)with tri sodium
citrate(Na₃C₆H₅O₇)
HAuCl₄+ Na₃C₆H₅O₇ Au ⁺+ C₆H₅O₇⁻+ HCl+3 NaCl
Metal gold nanoparticles exhibit intense
red, magenta etc., colours depending upon the
particle size
SYNTHESIS OF METAL NANOPARTICLES
BY COLLOIDAL ROUTE
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
Gold nanoparticles can be stabilised by repulsive
Coloumbic interactions
Also stabilised by thiol or some other capping
molecules
In a similar manner, silver, palladium, copper and few
other metal nanoparticles can be synthesized.
Wet chemical route using appropriate salts
Sulphide semiconductors like CdS and ZnS can be
synthesized by coprecipitation
To obtain Zns nanoparticles, any Zn salt is dissolved in
aqueous( or non aqueous) medium and H₂S is added
ZnCl₂+ H₂S ZnS + 2 HCl
SYNTHESIS OF SEMU-CONDUCTOR
NANOPARTICLES BY COLLOIDAL ROUTE
Steric hindrance created by “chemical capping”
Chemical capping- high or low temperature
depending on the reactants
High temp reactions- cold organometallic reactants
are injected in solvent like
trioctylphosphineoxide(TOPO) held at > 300ºC
Although it Is a very good method of synthesis, most
organometallic compounds are expensive.
2types of materials or components- “sol” and “gel”
M. Ebelman synthesized them in 1845
Low temperature process- less energy consumption
and less pollution
Generates highly pure, well controlled ceramics
Economical route, provided precursors are not
expensive
Possible to synthesize
nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotubes etc.,
SOL GEL METHOD
Sols are solid particles in a liquid- subclass of colloids
Gels – polymers containing liquid
The process involves formation of ‘sols’ in a liquid and
then connecting the sol particles to form a network
Liquid is dried- powders, thin films or even monolithic
solid
Particularly useful to synthesize ceramics or metal
oxides
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological
Hydrolysis of precursors condensation
polycondensation
Precursors-tendency to form gels
Alkoxides or metal salts
Oxide ceramics are best synthesized by sol gel route
For ex: in SiO₄, Si is at the centre
and 4 oxygen atoms at the apexes
of tetrahedron
Very ideal for forming sols
By polycondensation process
sols are nucleated and sol-gel is formed
Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological

1. Use of microorganisms like fungi, yeats(eukaryotes)
or bacteria, actinomycetes(prokaryotes)
2. Use of plant extracts or enzymes
3. Use of templates like DNA, membranes, viruses and
diatoms

Synthesis of nanoparticles- physical,chemical and biological

  • 2. Materials having unique properties arising from their nanoscale dimensions Nanomaterials with fast ion transport are related also to nanoionics and nanoelectronics Nanoscale materials can also be used for bulk applications Nanomaterials are sometimes used in solar cells which combats the cost of traditional solar silicon cells NANOMATERIALS
  • 3. 2 approaches - bottom up approach - top down approach SYNTHESIS OF NANOMATERIALS
  • 4. These seek to arrange smaller components into more complex assemblies Use chemical or physical forces operating at the nanoscale to assemble basic units into larger structures examples : 1. Indiun gallium arsenide(InGaAs) quantum dots can be formed by growing thin layers of InGaAs on GaAs 2. Formation of carbon nanotubes BOTTOM UP APPROACH
  • 5. These seek to create smaller devices by using larger ones to direct their assembly The most common top-down approach to fabrication involves lithographic patterning techniques using short wavelength optical sources TOP DOWN APPROACH
  • 7. 3 methods of synthesis Physical Chemical Biological METHODS
  • 8. 2 methods  Mechanical 1. High energy ball milling 2. Melt mixing  Vapour 1. Physical vapour deposition 2. Laser ablation 3. Sputter deposition 4. Electric arc deposition 5. Ion implantation PHYSICAL METHODS OF SYNTHESIS
  • 9. Simplest method of making nanoparticle in the form of powder Various types of mills • Planetary • Vibratory • Rod • Tumbler HIGH ENERGY BALL MILLING
  • 10. Consists of a container filled with hardened steel or tungsten carbide balls Material of interest is fed as flakes 2:1 mass ratio of balls to materials Container may be filled with air or inert gas Containers are rotated at high speed around a central axis Material is forced to the walls and pressed against the walls
  • 11. Control the speed of rotation and duration of milling- grind material to fine powder( few nm to few tens of nm) Some materials like Co, Cr, W, Al-Fe, Ag-Fe etc are made nanocrystalline using ball mill.
  • 13. To form or arrest nanoparticles in glass Glass – amorphous solid, lacking symmetric arrangement of atoms/molecules Metals , when cooled at very high cooling rates (10⁵- 10⁶ K/s) can form amorphous solids- metallic glasses Mixing molten streams of metals at high velocity with turbulence- form nanoparticles Ex: a molten stream of Cu-B and molten stream of Ti form nanoparticles of TiB₂ MELT MIXING
  • 14. EVAPORATION BASED METHOD PHYSICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION Material of interest as source of evaporation An inert or reactive gas A cold finger(water or liquid N₂ cooled) Scraper All processes are carried out in a vacuum chamber so that the desired purity of end product can be obtained
  • 15. Materials to be evaporated are held in filaments or boats of refractory metals like W, Mo etc Density of the evaporated material is quite high and particle size is small (< 5 nm) Acquire a stable low surface energy state Cluster-cluster interaction- big particles are formed Removed by forcing an inert gas near the source(cold finger)
  • 16. If reactive gases such as O₂, N₂,H₂, NH₃ are used, evaporated material will react with these gases forming oxide, nitride or hydride particles. Nanoparticles formed on the cold finger are scraped off Process can be repeated several times
  • 17. Vaporization of the material is effected by using pulses of laser beam of high power The set up is an Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) or high vacuum system Inert or reactive gas introduction facility, laser beam, target and cooled substrate Laser giving UV wavelength such as Excimer laser is necessary LASER VAPOURIZATION (ABLATION)
  • 18. Powerful laser beam evaporates atoms from a solid source Atoms collide with inert or reactive gases Condense on cooled substrate Gas pressure- particle size and distribution Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) are mostly synthesized by this method
  • 20. Thin film synthesis using lasers Mixture of reactant gases is deposited on a powerful laser beam in the presence of some inert gas like helium or argon Atoms or molecules of decomposed reactant gases collide with inert gas atoms and interact with each other, grow and are then deposited on cooled substrate LASER PYROLYSIS

  • 24. Target is held at high negative voltage Substrate may be at positive, ground or floating potential Argon gas is introduced at a pressure <10 Pa High voltage (100 to 3000 V) is applied between anode and cathode Visible glow is observed when current flows between anode and cathode DC SPUTTERING
  • 25. Glow discharge is set up with different regions such as - cathode glow - Crooke’s dark space -negative glow -Faraday dark space -positive column - anode dark space - anode glow
  • 26. These regions are a result of plasma- a mixture of electrons, ions, neutrals and photos Density of particles depends on gas pressure
  • 28. If the target to be spluttered is insulating High frequency voltage is applied between the anode and cathode Alternatively keep on changing the polarity Oscillating electrons cause ionization 5 to 30 MHz frequency can be used 13.56 MHz frequency is commonly used RF SPUTTERING
  • 30. RF/DC sputtering rates can be increased by using magnetic field Magnetron sputtering use powerful magnets to confine the plasma to the region closest to the ‘target’. This condenses the ion-space ratio, increases the collision rate, and thus improves deposition rate MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
  • 31. When both electric and magnetic field act simultaneously on a charged particle , the force on it is given by Lorentz force. F = q(E+ v X B) By introducing gases like O₂, N₂,H₂, NH₃ , CH₄ while metal targets are sputtered, one can obtain metal oxides like Al₂O₃, nitrides like TiN, carbides like WC etc- “Reactive sputtering”
  • 33. Simplest and most useful methods Mass scale production of Fullerenes, carbon nanotubes etc Consists of a water cooled vacuum chamber and electrodes to strike an arc in between them Gap between the electrodes is 1mm High current- 50 to 100 amperes Low voltage power supply- 12 to 15 volts ELECTRIC ARC DEPOSITION
  • 34. Inert or reactive gas introduction is necessary- gas pressure is maintained in the vacuum system When an arc is set up ,anode material evaporates. This is possible as long as the discharge can be maintained
  • 36. Simple techniques Inexpensive instrumentation Low temperature (<350ºC) synthesis Doping of foreign atoms (ions) is possible during synthesis Large quantities of material can be obtained Variety of sizes and shapes are possible Self assembly or patterning is possible ADVANTAGES
  • 37. Nanoparticles synthesized by chemical methods form “colloids” Two or more phases (solid, liquid or gas) of same or different materials co-exist with the dimensions of at least one of the phases less than a micrometre May be particles, plates or fibres Nanomaterials are a subclass of colloids, in which the dimensions of colloids is in the nanometre range COLLOIDS AND COLLOIDS IN SOLUTION

  • 43. Steric hindrance created by “chemical capping” Chemical capping- high or low temperature depending on the reactants High temp reactions- cold organometallic reactants are injected in solvent like trioctylphosphineoxide(TOPO) held at > 300ºC Although it Is a very good method of synthesis, most organometallic compounds are expensive.
  • 44. 2types of materials or components- “sol” and “gel” M. Ebelman synthesized them in 1845 Low temperature process- less energy consumption and less pollution Generates highly pure, well controlled ceramics Economical route, provided precursors are not expensive Possible to synthesize nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotubes etc., SOL GEL METHOD
  • 45. Sols are solid particles in a liquid- subclass of colloids Gels – polymers containing liquid The process involves formation of ‘sols’ in a liquid and then connecting the sol particles to form a network Liquid is dried- powders, thin films or even monolithic solid Particularly useful to synthesize ceramics or metal oxides
  • 47. Hydrolysis of precursors condensation polycondensation Precursors-tendency to form gels Alkoxides or metal salts Oxide ceramics are best synthesized by sol gel route
  • 48. For ex: in SiO₄, Si is at the centre and 4 oxygen atoms at the apexes of tetrahedron Very ideal for forming sols By polycondensation process sols are nucleated and sol-gel is formed
