What are the Challenges in Using Metal Salts for Nanotechnology?
While metal salts are highly useful, there are several challenges associated with their use:
1. Stability: Metal nanoparticles can agglomerate, losing their nanoscale properties. 2. Toxicity: Some metal nanoparticles, like those of cadmium, can be toxic, necessitating careful handling and disposal. 3. Scalability: Synthesizing nanoparticles on a large scale while maintaining uniformity can be challenging.
