Abstract
Nanomaterials, possessing unique chemical, physical, and mechanical properties, can be used in a wide range of industrial, biomedical, and electronic applications. There are three general categories for producing nanomaterials: mechanical processing (milling), chemical processing (precipitation), or thermal processing (evaporation and condensation). Conventional methods often have drawbacks in controlling size, purity, surface morphologies, production amounts, cost, and time.1,2,3 Additionally, techniques developed for one metal oxide often do not transfer to other nano-oxides. A new method developed here at BYU overcomes many of these difficulties.
