The surface area of nanomaterials is directly related to their size and shape. A higher surface area increases the material's reactivity, making it more effective in applications like sensor technology and environmental remediation. For example, nanoparticles with a high surface area can adsorb more pollutants, making them highly efficient in water and air purification systems. Moreover, the large surface area enhances the performance of electrodes in batteries and supercapacitors.
