Synthesis and Characterization Methods 2.1 Methods of Synthesis for Semiconductor Nanomaterials

The properties of semiconductor nanomaterials such as optical and electrical properties are mostly dependent on the size and shape of the nanomaterials. Therefore controlling the size and shape of the nanomaterials are significantly important [16, 75-77]. Several methods have been used for the synthesis of nanomaterials. Synthesis of nanomaterials in solution method has attracted due to its simple, ease of implementation, cost effective and high degree of flexibility. The size and shape of the nanocrystals can be controlled through the manipulation of the experimental conditions such as reaction time, temperature and pH etc.
