An apparatus utilizing a hot wall reactor and methods for making nanoparticles are described. The nanoparticles can be collected in bulk or deposited onto a base substrate. The hot wall reactor utilizes gas-phase synthesis to produce nanoparticles. Inorganic nanoparticles deposited onto a substrate are useful, for example, for biological applications, for example, biomolecule attachment such as DNA, RNA, protein and the like. The inorganic porous substrates are also useful for cell growth applications. |
