Nanoparticles have become increasingly important for a variety of applications, including medical diagnosis and treatment, energy harvesting and storage, catalysis, and additive manufacturing. The development of nanoparticles with different compositions, sizes, and surface properties is essential to optimize their performance for specific applications. Pulsed laser ablation in liquid is a green chemistry approach that allows for the production of ligand-free nanoparticles with diverse shapes and phases. Despite these numerous advantages, the current production rate of this method remains limited, with typical rates in the milligram per hour range. To unlock the full potential of this technique for various applications, researchers have dedicated efforts to scaling up production rates to the gram-per-hour range. Achieving this goal necessitates a thorough understanding of the factors that limit pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) productivity, including laser, target, liquid, chamber, and scanner parameters. This perspective article explores these factors and provides a roadmap for increasing PLAL productivity that can be adapted to specific applications. By carefully controlling these parameters and developing new strategies for scaling up production, researchers can unlock the full potential of pulsed laser ablation in liquids.
纳米颗粒在包括医学诊断与治疗、能量收集与存储、催化以及增材制造等多种应用中变得越来越重要。开发具有不同组成、尺寸和表面性质的纳米颗粒对于优化其在特定应用中的性能至关重要。液体中的脉冲激光烧蚀是一种绿色化学方法，可用于制备具有多种形状和相的无配体纳米颗粒。尽管有这些众多优点，但该方法目前的生产率仍然有限，典型速率在每小时毫克范围内。为了释放该技术在各种应用中的全部潜力，研究人员致力于将生产率扩大到每小时克范围。实现这一目标需要深入了解限制液体中脉冲激光烧蚀（PLAL）生产率的因素，包括激光、靶材、液体、腔室和扫描仪参数。这篇观点文章探讨了这些因素，并提供了一个可适用于特定应用的提高PLAL生产率的路线图。通过仔细控制这些参数并开发扩大生产的新策略，研究人员可以释放液体中脉冲激光烧蚀的全部潜力。
