Despite the advantages, doping nanomaterials presents several challenges:
Uniformity: Achieving a uniform distribution of dopants is difficult but crucial for consistent material properties. Stability: Doped nanomaterials can be unstable, leading to issues like dopant diffusion and degradation. Precision: Nanoscale doping requires extremely precise control to avoid over-doping or under-doping. Compatibility: Ensuring that the dopants do not adversely affect the nanomaterial's other properties is essential.
