Designing of a new ultrasound interface technology to synthesize some industrially important nano particles
Ultrasound is a precise active processing technique in the generation and application of nanomaterials. A number of methodologies are in practice to generate the metallic nanoparticles such as chemical synthesis, solvothermal process and electrochemical, but most of these strategies suffer from utilization of high energy, harmful chemicals and trouble in purification. To switchover these technical hitches ultrasonic methods have been established newly. As the market for nanomaterials grows, the request for ultrasonic processes at production level increases. The need to design an automated ultrasonic generator also grows. Understanding the characteristics and structure of materials is of importance in proper modelling and effective design of many products. Complex materials such as polymers, structured material systems, or biological materials provide a particular challenge to many of the traditional synthesizing methods. In the present work, we designed an automatic ultrasonic generator to synthesize metal nanoparticles by using a novel ultrasonic interface technique. The formation of nanoparticles by this method is rapid and requires no use of toxic chemicals. The nanoparticles formed by this method are more stable and lasting for several months. The characteristics of the obtained nanoparticles will be studied using UV–Visible Spectroscopy, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM)
