Reactor for the manufacture of nanoparticles

摘要

An apparatus (10) and a method (200) for the manufacture of nanoparticles. The apparatus and the method allows for the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles at independent temperatures. The independent temperatures allow for the growth of nanoparticles in a controlled environment avoiding spontaneous nucleation and allowing particle sizes to be controlled and facilitating the manufacture of particles of a substantially uniform size. Furthermore the apparatus (10) allows for the manufacture of core-shell nanoparticles and core-shell-shell nanoparticles.

主权项

1. An apparatus for the continuous manufacture of nanoparticles, comprising: at least one solvent preparation module; and at least one particle synthesis module having at least three independently heatable chambers, wherein the at least one solvent preparation module is connected in series with the at least one particle synthesis module and wherein the three independently heatable chambers include a separate nucleation chamber and a separate growth chamber.
