Multifunctionality is often achieved through the careful design and synthesis of nanomaterials. This can include: - Surface modification: Coating nanoparticles with different molecules to impart new properties. - Hybrid materials: Combining different types of nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles with carbon nanotubes. - Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into a nanomaterial to alter its properties. - Core-shell structures: Creating layered nanoparticles where the core and shell have different functionalities.
