How do Nanomaterials Enhance Photocatalytic Activity?
Nanotechnology plays a pivotal role in enhancing photocatalytic activity. Nanomaterials possess unique properties like high surface area-to-volume ratio, quantum size effects, and tunable electronic structures. These characteristics enable nanomaterials to absorb more light and exhibit higher reactivity compared to bulk materials. Examples include titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures.
