The size effect is highly relevant for heterogeneous catalysis. In many cases, nanoparticles exhibit catalytic activity where larger particles are not active. ... The size and topography of nanoparticles affect the mechanism and efficiency of their endocytosis, as well as intracellular localisisation.
