Rational Design for Monodisperse Gallium Nanoparticles by In Situ Monitoring with Small-Angle X-ray Scattering.

ABSTRACT: Colloidal chemistry is a well-known synthetic platform for producing size-uniform nanoparticles. However, the optimization of each material system still relies on a tedious trial-and-error approach in a multiparametric space, commonly referred to as design-of-experiments. This process is particularly laborious for emerging material classes for which only a handful of syntheses have been reported. Alternative approaches for the rational design of colloidal nanoparticles involve studying the reaction with in situ methods, thereby revealing the true underlying rules for the synthesis of monodisperse nanoparticles. Here, we focus on highly promising but little-studied colloidal gallium nanoparticles, using synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering as a highly suitable in situ monitoring t
