- Description
- Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in the properties of hollow nanoparticles for use in advanced technologies. The diffusion phenomenon known as the Kirkendall effect features in one of the important experimental methods of synthesis of hollow binary nanoparticles. Diffusion naturally features prominently in shrinkage mechanisms of hollow nanoparticles. In this paper, we summarize the progress made so far in understanding the formation and shrinkage by diffusion processes of hollow nanoparticles and their apparent stability.
