Controlling the reactivity of nanomaterials is vital for their safe and effective use. Several strategies can be employed:
- Surface Modification: Coating nanoparticles with organic or inorganic layers can help stabilize them and control their reactivity. - Doping: Introducing other elements into the nanostructure can fine-tune the reactivity and stability of the material. - Functionalization: Attaching specific functional groups to the nanoparticle surface can enhance selectivity and reduce undesirable reactions.
