Dynamic optimization of non-equilibrium processes in nanostructures is critical for enhancing their functionality in high-performance applications, including nanoelectronics and energy devices. This research investigates the impact of controlled non-equilibrium synthesis on the structural, chemical, and electrical properties of nanostructured materials, focusing on titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructured films. These nanostructures are synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and electrodeposition, where deposition parameters are dynamically tuned to optimize crystallinity, surface morphology, and electronic behavior. CVD deposits uniform, high-purity TiO2, and ZnO films by controlling gas-phase precursor reactions on a heated substrate, ensuring well-defined crystallinity and surface morphology. Electrodeposition is utilized to synthesize nanostructured films in an aqueous electrolyte by electrochemically reducing metal precursors, allowing for tunable thickness, porosity, and grain size. The resulting films are characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to assess textural properties, phase purity, and chemical interactions. This research demonstrates how precise control of non-equilibrium states during synthesis can optimize nanostructure properties. It highlights the effectiveness of dynamic optimization in non-equilibrium synthesis, and paves for their integration into high-performance nanostructured devices.
