The importance of nanostructured supports lies in their unique properties, which include high surface area, enhanced reactivity, and improved stability. These characteristics make them indispensable in various fields:
1. Catalysis: Nanostructured supports can increase the number of active sites available for chemical reactions, leading to more efficient and selective catalytic processes. 2. Drug Delivery: In medical applications, nanostructured supports can improve the targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs. 3. Sensors: They can enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of sensors, making them more effective in detecting specific molecules or environmental changes.
