Stability can be improved through several methods:
1. Surface Modification: Coating nanoparticles with stabilizing agents like polymers, surfactants, or small molecules can prevent agglomeration and oxidation. 2. Core-Shell Structures: Encapsulating a nanoparticle with another material can provide physical protection and chemical stability. 3. Doping and Alloying: Introducing different elements into the nanoparticle matrix can enhance thermal and chemical stability. 4. Environmental Control: Controlling the environment in which nanoparticles are stored or used, such as pH, temperature, and humidity, can prolong their stability.
