Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles, because of their special properties and least dimensions, have important applications in optical, magnetic, thermal, electronic and sensor devices, SERS (surface enhanced Raman scattering), catalysis, etc. Every property of nanoparticles are because of their small sizes. Over the last couple of decades, the structure of the inorganic nanoparticles was significantly novel and had improved physical, chemical, and biological properties, phenomena and usefulness because of their nanoscale sizes, and have inspired much intrigue. Nanophasic and nanostructure materials are drawing in a lot of consideration because of their potential for accomplishing particular processes and selectivity, particularly in natural and pharmaceutical applications.
