What challenges exist in shape-controlled synthesis?
While shape-controlled synthesis offers numerous benefits, it also poses several challenges:
1. Reproducibility: Achieving consistent shapes across different batches can be difficult. 2. Scalability: Producing large quantities of shape-controlled nanomaterials is often challenging. 3. Complexity: The synthesis processes can be complex and require precise control over multiple parameters. 4. Cost: Advanced synthesis techniques can be expensive, limiting their widespread adoption.
