Nanoconfinement has a wide range of applications across various fields:
Catalysis: Nanoconfined catalysts can offer higher activity and selectivity due to the increased surface area and altered electronic properties. Energy storage: In batteries and supercapacitors, nanoconfined materials can provide higher energy densities and faster charge/discharge rates. Sensors: Nanoconfined structures can be highly sensitive to environmental changes, making them ideal for detection of gases, chemicals, and biological molecules. Pharmaceuticals: Nanoconfinement can improve the solubility and bioavailability of drugs, enhancing their therapeutic efficacy. Membranes: Nanoconfined materials can be used in filtration and separation technologies due to their high surface area and selectivity.
