Determine quantity of reducing agent is very important for any Nanomaterial synthesis, this calculator can do it preciously and effectively.
Final particles size of synthesized Nanoparticles not only depend on the Reducing Agent, but also depends on the factors like Capping Agent, Stabilizing Agent, Amount of Solvent used, Temperature and pH etc.
Calculation Tutorial:
STEP1: Enter the Molecular Weight (M.W.) of Reducing Agent, for example Hydrazine Hydrate is having molecular weight of 32 g/mol.
STEP2: Enter the Molecular Weight (M.W.) of Precursor, for example Nickel Nitrate is having molecular weight of 182.7 g/mol.
STEP3: Enter the weight of the precursor you have taken in grams, for example 1g.
STEP4: Enter the Percentage (%) of Reduction you want, for example you want to reduce 50, 100, 200 percent of Nickel Nitrate.
NOTE: We recommend you to use Hydrazine Hydrate as Reducing Agent for Nanoparticles synthesis. Use 10% diluted Hydrazine Hydrate for better results.
