Sonochemical Synthesis of Low-Dimensional Nanostructures and Their Applications-A Review.

Sonochemical synthesis is becoming a popular method of preparing various nanomaterials, including metals, carbons, oxides, and chalcogenides. This method is relatively cheap and responds to the challenges of green chemistry as it typically does not involve high temperatures, high pressures, inert atmospheres, or long reaction times in comparison to other conventional methods. The utilization of ultrasound in synthesis makes the elimination of toxic solvents possible, as well as the execution of the synthesis without the use of reducing and stabilizing agents, while receiving products with the same or even better properties.
