Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of homogeneously mixing solids, comprising: mixing, in a fluid medium, at least a first nanoparticle material and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant causes the first nanoparticle material to distribute uniformly in the fluid medium and have a specific charge; adding, to the fluid medium, a second nanoparticle material, wherein the surfactant has a charge of opposite polarity to the zeta potential of the second nanoparticle material; attaching the second nanoparticle material to the first nanoparticle material using the charge attraction of the surfactant and the second nanoparticle material to obtain a homogeneous material; and removing the attached first and second nanoparticle materials from the fluid medium to obtain a solid homogeneous material.
