Nanometals offer several benefits over their bulk counterparts:
Enhanced Surface Area: The high surface area to volume ratio of nanometals leads to increased reactivity, making them more effective as catalysts and in other chemical processes. Optical Properties: Nanometals exhibit unique optical properties such as plasmon resonance, which can be exploited in biological imaging and sensing applications. Mechanical Strength: Nanometals can enhance the mechanical properties of composites, providing increased strength and durability. Electrical Conductivity: The electrical properties of nanometals can be tailored for use in electronic devices and sensors.
