The term “nano” refers to the extremely small design of these catalysts. The significant advantage of working at this scale is the amplification of effects with very little amounts of material. For example, if you try to brew coffee with whole beans, there is minimal interaction between the beans and the water, producing a diluted cup of coffee. But, if you grind the beans, the interaction between the small pieces of coffee beans and water increases exponentially, producing a rich, concentrated cup of coffee with the same amount of beans – amplifying its effects. This same concept is translated to the catalysts in NanoSALV, amplifying their effects by a billion-fold. This is why only a paper-thin layer of NanoSALV is needed to work.
