Nanomaterials enhance gas adsorption through several mechanisms:
1. High Surface Area: Nanomaterials provide a large surface area for gas molecules to adhere to, increasing the overall adsorption capacity. 2. Active Sites: The presence of functional groups or defects on nanomaterials can act as active sites for enhanced interaction with gas molecules. 3. Porosity: Materials like MOFs and zeolites offer a porous structure that allows for efficient gas diffusion and adsorption. 4. Electronic Properties: The unique electronic properties of nanomaterials can be tuned to improve selectivity and sensitivity in gas adsorption.
