SSA plays a vital role in several applications within nanotechnology:
Catalysis: Nanoparticles with high SSA offer more active sites, improving the efficacy of catalysts in chemical reactions. Drug Delivery: Nanocarriers with high SSA can adsorb more drug molecules, allowing for controlled and targeted release. Energy Storage: In batteries and supercapacitors, materials with high SSA can store more charge due to the increased surface area available for ion exchange. Environmental Applications: High SSA materials can effectively adsorb pollutants, making them useful for water and air purification.
