Abstract

Methods for the colloidal synthesis of monodisperse nanoparticles, in which the interrelated processes of nucleation and growth of nanoparticles occurring with variable supersaturation of the solution play a determining role, have been theoretically analyzed. It is supposed that supersaturation is created as a result of a chemical reaction; two reactant feed modes (instantaneous and regularly time-distributed) are considered. Successive steps of growth have been distinguished and described for each mode. Conditions at which the focusing mechanism of the particle-size distribution function is operative are specified.
