How do Nano Bio Interfaces Enhance Catalytic Performance?
Nano bio interfaces can enhance catalytic performance through several mechanisms:
Increased Surface Area: The large surface area of nanomaterials allows for more active sites, which can increase the rate of catalytic reactions. Unique Electronic Properties: Nanomaterials can exhibit unique electronic properties that can be tuned to optimize catalytic activity, such as electron transfer processes. Biocompatibility: By functionalizing nanomaterials with biocompatible molecules, they can be made more compatible with biological systems, reducing toxicity and enhancing effectiveness in biological environments. Selective Binding: The surface of nanomaterials can be engineered to selectively bind to specific biological molecules, enhancing the selectivity of the catalytic reactions.
