Apparatus (10) and method (200) for producing nanoparticles. The apparatus and method allow nucleation and growth of nanoparticles at independent temperatures. The independent temperature allows the nanoparticles to grow in a controlled environment. As a result, spontaneous nucleation is avoided, particle size can be controlled, and production of substantially uniform size particles is facilitated. Furthermore, the device (10) allows the production of core-shell nanoparticles and core-shell-shell nanoparticles. |
