Synthesis of Metal Nanomaterials with Chemical and Physical Effects of Ultrasound and Acoustic Cavitation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sonochemical Production of Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((ULSONO))

Abstract

Six synthesis techniques using ultrasound and acoustic bubbles are introduced. As a technique using chemical effects of acoustic bubbles which comprise high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, (1) a pyrolysis technique (pyrolysis of a volatile metal precursor in organic solvent) and (2) a reduction technique (reduction of metal precursor in water) are described for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Furthermore, as a technique using or relating physical effects of ultrasound and acoustic bubbles, (3) ultrasound-assisted, (4) sonomechanical-assisted metal displacement reduction, (5) sonoelectrochemical, and (6) ultrasound spray pyrolysis techniques are introduced. These synthetic techniques will affect the characteristics of the metal nanoparticles and nanomaterials synthesized.
