• states at around 80 °C. While laser-synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized regarding their (surface) oxidation [4][5][7] and carbon shells [7][24] previously, the phase preference of nanoparticles from laser synthesis and processing of colloids in liquid–liquid TMSs is unknown. However, to

• 23284, USA 10.3762/bjnano.15.54 Abstract Laser synthesis and processing of colloids (LSPC) is an established method for producing functional and durable nanomaterials and catalysts in virtually any liquid of choice. While the redox reactions during laser synthesis in water are fairly well understood

• reports from Fojtik and Henglein on nanoparticle synthesis [1] and Patil et al. on reactive target modification [2], pulsed laser synthesis and processing of colloids (LSPC) has been shown to be a scalable [3][4][5][6] and versatile technique for nanoparticle synthesis, comprehensively reviewed regarding
