Production of nanostructures

摘要

Nanostructure morphologies are controlled by incorporating an agitation mechanism that imparts low shear mixing along with purification of a resulting nanostructure product to effectively remove agglomerates and other components of a reaction mixture. In such manner, higher yields and higher batch-to-batch consistency in the production of nanostructures can be achieved.

主权项

1. A method for production of nanowires, comprising:
(a) providing a nanowire synthesis solution; and (b) conducting a reaction of the solution under mixing to produce a first batch of nanowires, the first batch of nanowires having a first value of a morphological characteristic selected from an average aspect ratio, an average length, and an average diameter, wherein conducting the reaction of the solution in (b) includes agitating the solution by circulating beads dispersed in the solution.
