Nanomaterials, Characteristics and Applications
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents a general classification of nanomaterials based on their chemistry, morphology, and dimensions. Nanomaterials can be categorized into nanoparticles, nanofilms, or nanotubes based on their dimensionality. Nanomaterials can be composed of singular elements, such as carbon or metals, or many constituents, such as composites or metal oxides. We examine the prevalent categories of nanomaterials to date, accompanied by depictions of their morphologies. A material's physicochemical characteristics in nanoform can differ significantly from those of its bulk component, depending upon the material's structure, shape, size, and functionalization.
