Plasma synthesis of nanoparticles. This paper gives a review on the plasma synthesis of nanoparticulate powders. The concept of plasma synthesis is used quite comprehensively it covers all processes where charged particles are. The concept of plasma synthesis is used quite comprehensively it covers all processes where charged particles are observed.

Therefore the topic of this paper ranges from high-temperature processes and microwave processes to the laser and flame synthesis of nanopowders. Nanoparticle synthesis a very special class of meth-ods is connected to plasma produced by electrical systems. The other processes where plasma is in-volved apply laser or just high temperatures for exci-tation.

One additional characteristic to differentiate plasma processes is the gas pressure. Gasphase synthesis followed by plasmaassisted inline functionalization of silicon nanoparticles is carried out in a plasma reactor under atmospheric pressure. Various coating precursors are used including tetraethyl orthosilicate hexamethyldisiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane to obtain distinct coreshell structures.

Plasma technique has been widely used to prepare and modify nano-materials. Especially inductively coupled plasma ICP discharge is a mild environmentally friendly and easy-operated method which doesnt introduce pollutants or destroy the structures of samples. Recently plasma-based procedures have been proposed to synthesize or to modify electrode materials due to their capability to prepare nanoparticles with controlled size morphology and composition using a wide range of precursors and in very few synthesis steps 35363738394041.

Plasma synthesis for thermoelectric materials is a technique under development due to the fact that it enables the formation of highly specific particles in the 10 nm range. A lot of investigation towards the formation of silicon and germanium nanoparticles within a plasma has been carried out by the Kortshagen group 31 42 43. They utilized a 200 W radio-frequency 1356 MHz generator to ignite a capacitively coupled plasma.

To synthesize nanoparticles thermal plasma is widely used as an effective heat source from its high gas temperature to evaporate feedstock to atomic materials and then as a medium to provide high-temperature gradient field for rapid cooling of evaporated materials.

On the nonthermal plasma synthesis of nickel nanoparticles. Iron oxide nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped activated carbon powder were synthesized using an innovative plasma-in-liquid method called the liquid phase plasma LPP method. Nitrogen-doped carbon NC was prepared by a primary LPP reaction using an ammonium chloride reactant solution and an iron oxideNC composite IONCC was prepared by a secondary LPP.

We report on the synthesis of surfactant-free gold nanoparticles AuNPs by Plasma-Liquid Interaction PLI technique using micro-atmospheric pressure DC.
