Abstract

The special little materials that exist on a nanometer scale between 1 and 100 nm are called nanoparticles (NPs). These NPs can have many different shapes. They can be divided into several types according to their origin, characteristics, form, and size, such as Organic, Inorganic, and Carbon-based NPs. Because of their small size, the NPs have improved physical and chemical properties, including high surface area, reactivity, stability, sensitivity, etc. There are several ways to synthesis these NPs. Recent years have seen a significant increase in the use of NPs in a variety of industrial and environmental application sectors, which is thought to be quite significant. This critical review article focuses on the uses, preparation process, and classification of NPs.

Keywords: Carbon based NPs, Inorganic NPs, Organic NPs, Nanoparticle.
