Recent Advances in the Liquid-Phase Syntheses of Inorganic Nanoparticles

For researchers entering the field of nanotechnology or for those working with a very limited synthetic repertoire, developing a broad-based working knowledge of the various state-of-the-art synthetic techniques constitutes an enormous undertaking, complicated in part by the sheer volume of available literature and the rapid pace of development. Cushing, et al attempt to provide a broad overview of synthetic techniques by focusing primarily on advances developed within the past five years in order to offer a critical review of state-of-the-art methodology.
