| Description | This chapter looks at nanostructures—materials with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. These include nanoparticles, nanoribbons, nanowires, nanotubes, nanowhiskers, and nanolayers. At this scale, properties may differ from those of the bulk material. The effects on electronic, optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties are discussed. Carbon nanostructures have been a particularly fruitful area of research. The structures, properties, and uses of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and buckminsterfullerene are described. The chapter also looks at graphite and its intercalation compounds. The uses of non-carbon nanostructures including quantum dots and metal nanoparticles are discussed. Nanoparticles can result from conventional solid-state syntheses, but in this chapter synthetic methods specifically aimed at producing nanostructures are introduced. These are divided into top-down and bottom-up methods. Book Name: Solid State Chemistry |
