There are several strategies to achieve controlled energy release at the nanoscale:
Nanocapsules: These are used to encase active agents and release them under specific conditions such as pH changes or temperature shifts. Nanoporous materials: These materials can absorb and release energy in a controlled manner, often used in catalysis and energy storage. Functionalized nanoparticles: These are engineered to respond to external stimuli like light, magnetic fields, or electric fields.
