Abstract

Through years of development, laser ablation in liquids (LAL) has become a new branch of nanoscience for nanomaterial synthesis. LAL has shown many unique advantages compared with the traditional wet-chemistry synthesis technique, so do its resultant nanomaterials. Capable of introducing multiple physical fields such as magnetic, electric, and electrochemical fields and with the assistance of additives, LAL has been extremely enriched, benefiting from which many novel nanomaterials have been synthesized. Many post-treatment techniques such as thermal annealing and hydrothermal treatment can further diversify the products. So far, a large variety of nanomaterials including metal, metal alloy, oxide, carbide, sulfide, nitride, hydroxide, polymer-particle composites, and supported composites, made of a large number of elements in the periodic table, have been synthesized and applied in many fields including optics, catalysis, environment, energy, photoelectric, and so on. Considering many reviews and book chapters have been published to introduce the progress in LAL, to prevent a repetitive introduction, this chapter is merely intended to serve as a guide to demonstrate the advantages and capacities of LAL to help researchers gain a brief overview. This chapter may also help the interested readers quickly master the key points for materials synthesis, property control, and get to know the problems that need to be addressed.
