For the rapid distribution of extremely pure metal nanoparticles and their derivatives, the pulsed laser technique has developed into an advanced synthetic technology. Hydrothermal and solvothermal syntheses are two examples of conventional synthetic methods, although they can be prohibitively expensive due to the necessity of costly precursor materials, the complexity of ligand exchange reactions, and the generation or use of potentially harmful by-products, surfactants, or stabilizing agents. These activities typically require a lot of effort and time. In comparison to traditional chemical and physical synthesis techniques, the pulsed laser-assisted method allows for greater fine-grained control over a wider range of parameters. In this chapter, we will review the most recent advancements and contributions in the use of pulsed lasers for advanced nanomaterials in energy storage and conversion, as well as biomedicals, with an eye toward their potential use in the energy industry. Laser-induced synthesis techniques, including pulsed laser deposition and laser irradiation in liquid, and the corresponding mechanisms for generating and regulating nanoarchitectures are also discussed in depth. Finally, the benefits and limitations of pulsed laser techniques are briefly discussed. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
