The invention provides a process for the production of nanoparticles as well as a device that is disposed for the production of the nanoparticles. The process is especially characterized in that the nanoparticles are pure, especially free from organic carbon compounds, preferably carbon-free, and are obtained continuously. The nanoparticles which are obtainable by the process of the invention are characterized in that they are present without an organic ligand in suspension and are especially preferred stable as a suspension against agglomeration, wherein the medium having the particles suspended therein is free from organic carbon compounds, especially carbon-free.
