Several factors must be considered in nanoparticle design, including:
Shape: The shape of a nanoparticle affects its surface area, reactivity, and interaction with other molecules. Size: Smaller nanoparticles have a higher surface-to-volume ratio, which can enhance their reactivity and catalytic properties. Surface Chemistry: The functional groups on the surface determine how nanoparticles interact with their environment. Composition: The materials used in the nanoparticles can tailor their optical, electrical, and magnetic properties.
