Fibre laser boosts nanoparticle production
Laser specialists in the UK have come up with a highly efficient way of producing nanoparticles that should be straightforward to scale up. The team is using a continuous wave (cw) fibre laser to produce titanium-oxide nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 30-40 nm at a rate of around 2 grams/hour (g/h). This is a significant improvement on reported values of 4.4 milligrams/hour produced using pulsed laser ablation.
