What are the Factors Influencing Catalytic Quenching?
Several factors can influence catalytic quenching in nanotechnology:
Particle size: Smaller nanoparticles have a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, making them more susceptible to quenching. Surface chemistry: The presence of specific functional groups on the nanoparticle surface can interact with quenching molecules. Concentration of quenchers: Higher concentrations of quenching molecules can lead to more significant quenching effects. Environmental conditions: Temperature, pH, and solvent type can all affect the extent of catalytic quenching.
