How Does Nanostructuring Improve TiO₂'s Catalytic Performance?
Nanostructuring enhances the surface area-to-volume ratio, increasing the number of active sites available for catalytic reactions. This not only improves the reaction rates but also enhances the material's ability to absorb and utilize light, which is especially beneficial in photocatalytic processes. Additionally, nanoscale TiO₂ can be engineered to have specific morphologies such as nanorods, nanotubes, or nanoparticles, each offering unique advantages in different catalytic contexts.
