First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for modifying the surface area of a composition of matter comprising:
- preparing nanomaterials composite comprising a sacrificial composition and a desired composition wherein the sacrificial composition retains its identity;
treating the nanomaterials composite by processing the nanomaterials composite with a solvent;
wherein the treatment step modifies the surface area of the nanomaterials composite by removing the sacrificial composition; and
collecting treated nanomaterials comprising the desired composition.
