Abstract
Quantum mechanical confinement and increased availability of surface atoms than inside atoms for participating in any reaction, metal oxide nanoparticles have distinct physical, chemical, optical, and electronic properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Surface area, shape, size, stability, crystallinity, anticorrosiveness, conductivity, and photocatalytic activity are all qualities that metal oxide nanoparticles have. In general, there are two types of metal oxide nanoparticle synthesis methods: I physical methods such as ball milling, sputtering, laser ablation, electrospraying, and electron beam evaporation; and (ii) chemical processes such as sol–gel, polyol, hydrothermal, co-precipitation, microemulsion, and chemical vapour deposition, among others.
