What are the Challenges in Achieving High Material Purity?
Several challenges exist in achieving high material purity in nanotechnology:
Synthesis: The synthesis methods themselves can introduce impurities. For example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) might leave behind residual gases. Environmental Contamination: During the manufacturing process, environmental contaminants such as dust and moisture can affect purity. Cost: Achieving ultra-high purity often requires complex and expensive purification processes.
