This simulation illustrates the very rugged aspect of different nanostructured surfaces. This feature gives them an exceptional reactivity.
What do we know about "nano effect" and chemical reactivity?
In the “nano” form, the relative percentage of atoms on the surface is considerably higher; all properties of a material related to the exchange surface (and possibly chemical reactivity) will be stimulated. For the same mass, the adsorption capacity of a nanoparticle will be higher than that of a microparticle.
