What Types of Nanomaterials Exhibit Photosensitive Properties?
Several types of nanomaterials exhibit photosensitive properties, including:
- Quantum Dots: These are semiconductor nanoparticles that exhibit size-dependent optical properties. - Metallic Nanoparticles: Such as gold and silver nanoparticles, which exhibit strong surface plasmon resonance. - Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene: Known for their exceptional electrical properties that can be modulated by light. - Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Such as TiO2 and ZnO, commonly used in photocatalysis and UV detection.
