Abstract: | The elaboration of nanoparticles designed for technological applications in various fields such as catalysis, optics, magnetism, electronics… needs the strict control of their characteristics, especially chemical composition, crystalline structure, size, and shape. These characteristics bring the physical properties (color, magnetism, band gap…) of the material, and also the surface to volume ratio of particles which is of high importance when they are used as a chemically active or reactive support, in catalysis for instance. The nanoparticles may have also to be surface functionalized by various species, and/or dispersed in aqueous or non aqueous media. We will show that the aqueous chemistry of metal cations is a very versatile and attractive way for the design of oxide nanomaterials, allowing the control of size, shape, and crystalline structure for polymorphic materials. Aqueous surface chemistry, including adsorption of various species, may be used to modify the morphology of nanoparticles. In some cases, redox processes can be involved to control the morphology of nanoparticles. Technologically important nanomaterials such as titania, alumina, and iron oxides are studied. |
