What are some methods to enhance the stability of nanostructures?
Enhancing the stability of nanostructures involves several approaches:
Surface modification: Coating nanostructures with stabilizing agents or functionalizing them with specific chemical groups can reduce reactivity. Encapsulation: Encasing nanostructures in protective layers can shield them from environmental factors. Alloying: Combining different materials to form alloys can enhance thermal stability and reduce reactivity. Embedding in matrices: Dispersing nanostructures within a solid or liquid matrix can prevent agglomeration and improve stability.
