Progress/Achievements for the week:

Nanomaterials describe, in principle, materials of which a single unit is sized between 1 and 100 nm.
Nanomaterials are synthetized by different methods based on the types and nature of the
nanomaterials. In a broad sense “top-down” and “bottom-up” are the two foremost methods to
synthesize nanomaterials. In top-down method bulk materials have been reduced to nanomaterials,
and in case of bottom-up method, the nanomaterials are synthesized from elementary level. The
different methods which are being used to synthesize nanomaterials are chemical vapor deposition
method, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal synthesis, solvothermal method, pulsed laser
ablation, templating method, combustion method, microwave synthesis, gas phase method, and
conventional Sol-Gel method. Hydrothermal synthesis is one of the most commonly used methods
for preparation of nanomaterials. It is basically a solution reaction-based approach. In hydrothermal
synthesis, the formation of nanomaterials can happen in a wide temperature range from room
temperature to very high temperatures.
