Controlling the chemical reactivity of nanoparticles is crucial for their effective use in various applications. This can be achieved through:
Surface Modification: Coating nanoparticles with organic or inorganic molecules can alter their reactivity. Doping: Introducing different atoms into the nanoparticle structure can change their chemical properties. Size and Shape Control: Tailoring the size and shape of nanoparticles can influence their reactivity.
