Title: Controlled synthesis of nanoparticles using ultrasound in continuous flow

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for synthesizing nanoparticles are provided. Methods for synthesizing nanoparticles are provided comprising mixing at least two solutions comprising the components of the nanoparticles within a micromixer; exposing the resultant mixed, unreacted, azeotropic solution to ultrasound; and collecting the generated nanoparticles. Apparatuses are also provided for synthesizing nanoparticles comprising a micromixer in fluid connection with a continuous reactor comprising at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and an ultrasound horn oriented such that the acoustic energy is transferred to the fluid within the continuous reactor.
