This review focuses on recent developments in synthesizing nanomaterials using process intensification, covering microreactor design, design principles, and fundamental mechanisms. Various examples from the literature discuss the advantages and disadvantages of microfluidics technology for nanomaterial synthesis.
Nanomaterials have found many applications due to their unique properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, density, strength, and many more. This review focuses on the recent developments on the synthesis of nanomaterials using process intensification. The review covers the designing of microreactors, design principles, and fundamental mechanisms involved in process intensification using microreactors for synthesizing nanomaterials. The microfluidics technology operates in continuous mode as well as the segmented flow of gas-liquid combinations. Various examples from the literature are discussed in detail highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of microfluidics technology for nanomaterial synthesis.
