A Review of Bimetallic and Monometallic Nanoparticle Synthesis via Laser Ablation in Liquid

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) is a physical and top-down approach used to fabricate nanoparticles (NPs). Herein, the research methods current trends PLAL literature are reviewed, including recent uses of for fabricating bimetallic (BNPs) composites. BNPs have gained attention owing their advanced physicochemical properties over monometallic NPs. involves irradiation solid target (usually rod, plate, or thin film) under medium. The collects ejected NPs resulting from processing, which produces colloid that can be various applications, plasmon sensing, energy harvesting, drug delivery. most fabrication techniques, use microorganisms, do not precise NP size control require separation microorganisms produced quicker at producing than bottom-up methods. drawbacks include need find required processing parameters, requires extensive experimentation, complex non-linear relationships between inputs outputs (e.g., size).
