Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The chapter focus on detailed information regarding all recently adopted methods for synthesis of green nanoparticles such as Biological synthesis, Coprecipitation method, Template synthesis, Hydrothermal technique, Microwave assisted synthesis, Inert gas condensation, Laser ablation method, Micro-emulsion technique, Spark discharge method and Sputtering etc. Along with their advantages and disadvantages. Biological methods of synthesis have been described extensively here to synthesise environmental friendly nanoparticles with economical costs. Biological synthesis has been shown by using bacteria, fungi and yeast etc. Along with methods, this chapter gave detailed description about various spectral and analytical techniques such as FTIR, SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX, UV-Visible spectroscopy etc.
