High-throughput synthesis of nanoparticles

A method for preparing nanoparticles comprising:

• introducing a first stream of a first solution into a first conduit, wherein the Reynolds number at the location of the introduction of the first solution is between 300 and 1,000,000;
• introducing a second stream of a second solution into a second conduit, wherein the first conduit is inserted into the second conduit;
• introducing a third stream of a third solution into a third conduit, wherein the third conduit is inserted into the second conduit, and wherein the Reynolds number at the location of the introduction of the third solution is between 300 and 1,000,000;
• wherein the first solution or the second solution contains nanoparticle precursors, and wherein nanoparticles form when the first solution mixes with the second solution and the third solution.

A method for preparing nanoparticles comprising:

• continuously flowing a first stream of a first solution into a conduit, wherein the first solution contains precursors of the nanoparticles;
• and
• continuously flowing a second stream of a second solution into the conduit such that the second stream forms a turbulent jet within the first stream;
• wherein the first stream and the second stream form a mixed stream having a Reynolds number of between 300 and 1,000,000 in which the nanoparticles are formed.
