Abstract

Nanoparticles are tiny particles that range in size from 1 to 100nm. It highlights the importance and potential of nanoparticles in various fields, including medicine, electronic, energy and environmental science. The nanoparticles are generally classified into the organic, inorganic and carbon-based particles in nanometric scale that has improved properties compared to larger sizes of respective materials. The review discusses the characterization techniques used to analyse nanoparticles, such as electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. Current review provides an overview of nanoparticles, including their types, properties, synthesis methods, and various application.

Keywords: Nanoparticles, History, Types, Classification, Synthesis, Advantages, Disadvantages, Characteristics and Applications.
