What is Physical Chemistry of Nanostructures about?
The document discusses how the physical chemistry of solid surfaces changes at the nanoscale. As particle size decreases, the ratio of surface atoms to interior atoms increases dramatically. For particles smaller than 10 nm, over 45% of atoms are on the surface. This high surface area gives nanoparticles unique catalytic and reactive properties. However, it also means nanoparticles have a huge surface energy due to broken atomic bonds at the surface. Mechanisms like surface relaxation and restructuring help
