Plasma–liquid interactions (PLIs) have emerged as a rapid and reagent-minimized platform for the synthesis of gold nanomaterials (GNMs) with tunable size, morphology, crystallinity, and surface chemistry. In contrast to conventional wet-chemical routes, non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasmas reduce HAuCl4 through highly reactive species generated at the gas–liquid interface. This review consolidates the field by classifying PLIs systems into four categories based on the discharge configuration, including plasma electrochemistry, plasma jet, solution plasma, and plasma aerosol, and critically compares their mechanisms and operational parameters. We show that the relative weighting of key process variables is strongly configuration-specific, with short-lived species initiating burst nucleation and long-lived neutrals sustaining autocatalytic growth. Furthermore, the review highlights how the distinct characteristics of each PLI configuration affect nanoparticle formation, morphology evolution, and physicochemical properties, providing practical guidance for selecting appropriate plasma systems for the controlled synthesis of gold nanomaterials.
Functional nanocomposites have emerged as a transformative class of materials, offering unparalleled properties such as enhanced mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, catalytic activity, and optical performance, etc. The synthesis of these materials using plasma-induced liquid chemistry (PiLC), operated at ro...

Carbon-based materials are widely employed in electrocatalytic energy conversion and storage technologies owing to their high electrical conductivity, chemical stability, tunable structure, and low cost. However, the limited intrinsic activity and surface inertness of pristine carbon materials often necessitate surface...

The role of precursor chemistry in determining the charge-transport characteristics of APPJ-derived polypyrrole (PPy) nanostructured films was assessed using two precursor formulations. One consisted of untreated liquid pyrrole monomer (Type I), whereas the other was a liquid plasma-treated (PT) pyrrole polymer (Type I...

Controlling elemental mixing in nanoparticles composed of immiscible elements remains a central challenge in high-entropy materials design. Here, we demonstrate a kinetic pathway that enables a transition from elementally segregated to high-entropy AgNiCoCr nanoparticles using nanosecond laser-induced dewetting of meta...
