The chemical reduction method is a bottom-up approach for synthesizing metal nanoparticles where metal salt solutions (precursors) are treated with reducing agents and stabilizing agents to produce nanoparticles; for example, silver nanoparticles are synthesized using silver nitrate as the precursor, hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent, and sodium dodecyl sulfate or sodium citrate as stabilizing agents, resulting in particles sized 15-48 nm that change color from colorless to pale yellow to pale red during formation.
Nanoparticle Synthesis via Chemical Reduction: Methods & Applications
Added:[Music] [Music] hi to everyone myself Dr Tan J working as assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry today I'm going to teach about preparation of nanop particles by chemical reduction method in previous class I have explained about the preparation of nanop particles by solel process in this class I'm going to teach about chemical reduction method synthesis of non particles by chemical reduction method in this session I'm going to cover these topics nanom materials introduction and preparation of nanop particles by chemical reduction method and applications of nanom materials I'm going to cover these three topics in this session see what are nanom materials the Nano derived from a Greek word Nanos the Nano derived from a Greek word Nanos Nano meaning of for small the meaning of the Nano is D for small it is obtained from the Greek word the prefix Nano means 1 billionth or 10^ ofus 9 part of the meter is called Nano what is meant by Nano that 1 billionth part of the meter or 10 ^ ofus 9 m is called Nano the Nano particles are particles size between the particle size between 1 to 100 nanometers is called nanop particles the size of the nanop particle least 1 to 100 nanom nanometers the nanoc scale materials are defined as set of substances where at least one dimension is less than approximately 100 nanometers the nanoscale materials that if three dimension the every material contain three dimensions at least in the three dimension at least one dimension size should be less than 100 nanometers that particle is called Nano particle nanom material the nanom materials are of interest because at the scale unique Optical and magnetic electrical and other properties emerge in the nanom materials the size is very less because of the size very because of the small size it contain unique properties like Optical magnetic electrical and other properties emerge in the case of Nano particles these emergent properties have the potential for the great impacts in the electronics medicine and other fields these emergent properties have the potential potential for great impact it show very great impacts on the electronic field and medicine and other fields okay what is mean by nanom materials Nano is dered from a Greek word Nano meaning small or dwarf the prefix Nano means 1 billion 10^ ofus 9 m is called Nano the nanometer the Nano particle size will be 1 to 100 nanom the nanoscale materials are defined as set of substances where at least one dimension is less than approximately 100 nanometers at least the one dimens should be less than 100 nanometers that is called nanom material the nanom materials are of interest because it contain unique Optical magnetic and electrical and other properties because of these unique properties it show good impact great impacts on the electronic and medicine and pharmaceutical Fields Nano scale the nanoc scale is an incredibly small scale of measurement it describes objects process and phenomena that measure less than 100 nanom in size the nanoc scale can be used for them to measure the size of the Nano particles or Nano materials a nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter what is mean by nanometer nanometer one B one billionth part of the meter is called nanomer the prefix Nano means 1 billion 10^ of- 9 M therefore one nanometer is 1 billion of a meter okay these are the different types of uh atoms that contain nanoscale size see the atoms contain the one one nothing but 10^ minus 10 m by using the N scale we can measure these nanomaterial sizes similarly for molecule size 10^ ofus 9 M or 1 nanom or this is DNA size 10^ minus 8 nanometers 10- 8 m nothing but 10 nanometers like viruses size these are the these these size we can uh measure by using this Nano scale nanom materials what is meant by nanom materials the materials of at least one dimension size between 100 to 1 to 100 nanometers is known as nanomaterial the size of the particle in between 1 to 100 nanometer one dimension size should be 1 to 100 nanometer then that is called Nano materials nanoscience what is meant by nanoscience study of materials and their properties at the length scale of few nanometers is called Nano science study of materials and their properties at the length scale of few nanometers is called Nano sense what is nanot technology the techniques involved in the preparation characterization and use of the properties of nanom materials in different applications are collectively called as a nanot technology the techniques involved in the preparation calculation and use of the properties of nanom materials in different applications are collectively called as nano technology see in previous class we have discussed about the synthis of the nanop particle by using S process here we are going to learn about the synthesis of n particles by using reduction method see the synthesis of nomatic n materials in these two types are there there are two type meth two methods of preparing nanom materials there are two methods are involved in the preparation of nanom materials one one is top down approach and other one is the bottom of approach the one is top down approach and the second one is the bottom up approach in top down approach what you have to do the material is reduced from bulk size to the nanoc scale th the macro molecules convert into the micro molecule top down approach in top down approach you have take the precursor bulk molecule we have to take then we have to convert this bulk molecule by fragmentation we have to convert into the nanoscale material scale okay Nano structure scale that is called top down approach in top down approach you have to convert the Macro Molecule into the micro molecule bigger molecule to small molecule that is called top down approach example for the top down approach are ball Milling method and nanolithography the example for the top down approach are ball Ming method and nanolithography these are the example for the top down approach the second method is bottom up approach second method is bottom up approach in this method matter in atomic or molecular level gets assembled to the form te clusters which grow to reach Nano size in this bottom of approach the atoms very less size particles this convert into the Clusters this cluster leads to the Nano structure here the macro this here the micro molecules are converted into the macro molecules this is called bottom up approach the example for the bottom of approach are chemical vapor deposition physical vapor deposition and soel Method these are the example for the bottom up approach see the nanomaterial synthesis by chemical reduction method nanomaterial synthesized by the chemical reduction method see the nanop particles of different metals can be synthesized by chemical reduction method the nanop particles of different Metals okay nanop particles of different different metals can be Sy synthesized by using this chemical reduction method it is example for bottom up approach similarly Sol method also is example for the botm up approach here this one also chemical retion method is also example for the botm up approach in this method in bottom up approach the macro molecules sorry micro molecules converted into the macro molecules this is example for the bottom up approach in this method metal precursor solution such as metal salt solution is treated with a suitable reducing agent and appropriate stabilizing agents are added in the Sol process first we have taken precursor precursor we have to dissolve in alcohol for that we have to add some uh water then we will get the metal hydroxide and metal hydroxide alcohol Sal in the first step you have prepared salt in the next step we have
