Unconventional Physical Methods for Synthesis of Metal and Non-metal Nanoparticles: A Review

Nanoparticles of different metals and non-metals have been drawing keen attention of the scientists due to extensive applications of nanoparticles in areas of chemistry, physics, material science, electronics and biotechnology. Synthesis of nanoparticles with different metals and non-metals through the unconventional machining methods has become a promising area of research. However, till now this study has been largely confined to laboratories. The present paper focuses on the development of different methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles as reported by the researchers from across the world.
