What Are the Key Factors Affecting Diffusive Transport in Nanomaterials?
Several factors can influence diffusive transport in nanomaterials:
Size and Shape: The size and shape of nanoparticles or nanostructures can affect the diffusion pathways and rates. Surface Chemistry: Functionalization of surfaces can modify interaction energies and hence influence diffusion. Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the thermal motion of particles, enhancing diffusion rates. Concentration Gradient: The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the diffusion process.
