Abstract

The prediction of nucleation and growth model for metal nanoparticles is very much important in the field of catalysis and fuel cell technology. In this mini review, discuss the initial stages of nucleation and growth model for 2D and 3D instantaneous and progressive nucleation kinetics explained. Keywords: instantaneous, nucleation, nucleation rate, progressive
