How Are Hydroxyl Groups Introduced to Nanomaterials?
There are several methods to introduce hydroxyl groups onto the surface of nanomaterials:
Plasma Treatment: Involves the use of a plasma source to create reactive hydroxyl groups on the surface. Chemical Oxidation: Involves exposure to oxidizing agents that induce the formation of hydroxyl groups. Hydrothermal Methods: Utilizing high-pressure, high-temperature water to generate hydroxyl groups on surfaces.
