Several inorganic nanomaterials are prominent in nanotechnology:
1. Metal Nanoparticles: Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium nanoparticles are widely used in electronics, catalysis, and medical applications. 2. Quantum Dots: These are semiconductor nanoparticles with remarkable optical and electronic properties, used in display technologies and bio-imaging. 3. Metal Oxides: Titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxide nanoparticles are used in sunscreens, sensors, and catalytic processes. 4. Ceramics: Nanostructured alumina and zirconia are used in coatings, dental materials, and high-strength composites.
