This thesis work concentrated on the production of several single-component and composite nanoparticles and nanoparticle deposits by the flame method known as Liquid Flame Spray (LFS). In this method, the liquid precursor is atomized as micron sized droplets into a high temperature (~3000 K) hydrogen/oxygen flame, using one of reactant gases as the atomizer. The particle production rates ranged from 0.02 to 120 g/h, and the particle sizes were in the range of ~2-60 nm.
