Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing

Plasma synthesis of nanomaterials is a versatile and efficient method for producing nanoparticles and nanostructures. It involves using plasma to control the chemical reactions and energy deposition during nanomaterial formation. The high-energy environment of the plasma enables unique and precise control over the size, shape, and composition of nanoparticles. Various plasma techniques, such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and plasma sputtering, are employed to synthesize nanoparticles of metals, oxides, semiconductors, and carbon-based materials. Plasma-synthesized nanomaterials find applications in catalysis, sensors, electronics, energy storage, and biomedical fields due to their tailored properties and enhanced performance at the nanoscale.
