Abstract
Current nanoparticles synthetic methodologies are focused on greener aspects which eliminate or minimize the use of hazardous chemicals or conventional energy sources. Typical greener techniques involve the use of sonochemical, microwave, electrochemical, hydrothermal, supercritical solvents, biosynthesis, and solar energy. Among this sonochemical route of nanoparticles synthesis is a well-developed and well-explored area due to its simplicity and diverse applicability. Sonochemistry arises from acoustic cavitation which involves the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a liquid which create high pressure and temperature followed by high rate of cooling. These properties are often responsible for shape and size selective nanoparticles synthesis.
Present chapter mainly focused on the basic concept of ultrasound and its application toward the synthesis of inorganic nanocrystalline materials like nanoparticles of metal, metal oxides, and metal sulfides. In addition, it covers the USP system for nanosize material synthesis.
