What role do nanomaterials play in catalysis for optical devices?
Nanomaterials have unique properties that make them highly effective as catalysts in optical devices. Their large surface area, quantum effects, and tunable properties enable precise control over reaction kinetics and mechanisms. For example, quantum dots are used in light-emitting applications due to their size-dependent emission properties. In catalysis, nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles can enhance the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions.
