Why is Nanotechnology Important for Photocatalysts?
Nanotechnology allows for the precise control of the size and shape of photocatalyst particles, which directly influences their efficiency. At the nanoscale, photocatalysts exhibit unique optical, electronic, and chemical properties that are not present in their bulk counterparts. This can result in increased surface area, enhanced light absorption, and better charge separation, all of which contribute to improved photocatalytic performance.
