Pulsed laser technology is a green and versatile method to produce nanoparticles with tailored properties. In this work, pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) has been employed to generate nanoparticles (NPs) of titanium and zinc oxides. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (Quantel Brilliant B, wavelength 532 nm, pulses of 4 ns, repetition rate 10 Hz) was used to produce the ablation of the metal targets. The production on NPs was done in different liquids (water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and ethylene glycol), which present different thermal conductivities, viscosities, and chemical properties. A complete characterization of the NPs (UV/Vis, DLS, TEM, AFM, Raman) was carried out to evaluate the NPs formed.
