METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NANOPARTICLES INCLUDING STRAINED NANOPARTICLES

摘要

A method for synthesizing nanoparticles comprises aerosolizing a precursor solution in the presence of a flow carrier gas to obtain a reactant stream, wherein the precursor solution comprises a volatile solvent and a nanoparticle precursor. The method further comprises heating the reactant stream to a temperature above the boiling point of the volatile solvent to form a product stream comprising a plurality of nanoparticles, cooling the product stream, and separating the nanoparticles from the product stream And passing the product stream through a collection liquid for collection.
