Abstract
Nanotechnology has garnered significant attention for its wide-ranging applications in biomedicine, energy, and environmental science. The synthesis of nanomaterials with specific properties is crucial for advancing these fields. Among various methods, thermal treatment has emerged as a promising technique for producing diverse nanostructures. However, thermal treatment alone often leads to larger particle sizes and poor uniformity, limiting the practical applications of the resulting nanomaterials. Incorporating polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent addresses these challenges by reducing particle size and enhancing uniformity. Optimizing parameters such as PVP concentration, molecular weight, temperature, and precursor ratios is key to improving the performance of the PVP-assisted thermal treatment method. This paper reviews recent progress in synthesizing nanostructures using PVP-assisted thermal treatment, including key characterization techniques. It also examines the applications of these nanostructures in fields such as biomedicine, energy, and environmental science. The review identifies challenges in the synthesis and characterization process, while also outlining potential future directions for enhancing this method. The insights provided will be valuable to researchers working in nanotechnology and related disciplines.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
