nanoporous materials

Nanoporous materials are substances that have tiny, nanoscale holes or pores within their structure. These pores are so small—millions of times smaller than a millimeter—that they give the material unique properties, like high surface area and enhanced reactivity. Such materials are used in applications like filtration, catalysis, energy storage, and sensors, because they can selectively trap or interact with molecules at the nanoscale. Their unique geometry allows for precise control over how they interact with substances, making them valuable in advanced scientific and industrial processes.
