METHOD OF PREPARING NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITION AND NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITION FORMED THEREBY

摘要

A method of preparing a nanoparticle composition comprises forming a nanoparticle aerosol in a low pressure reactor, wherein the aerosol comprises MX-functional nanoparticles in a gas, with M being an independently selected from silicon, germianium and tin and X is a functional group independently selected from H and a halogen atom. The method further comprises collecting the MX-functional nanoparticles of the aerosol in a capture fluid, wherein the capture fluid is in communication with the low pressure reactor, and wherein the capture fluid comprises a compound including a functional group Y reactive with the functional group X of the MX-functional nanoparticles. Finally, the method comprises reacting the compound and the MX-functional nanoparticles to prepare the nanoparticle composition comprising nanoparticles.
