Description

Nanocatalysis is one of the most exciting subfields to have emerged from nanoscience. It is a rapidly growing field which involves the use of nanomaterials as catalysts for a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis applications. This book provides a pedagogical and methodological overview of this exciting and growing field and highlights specific examples of current research. It serves both as an instructive introduction for graduate, postgraduate and research students who plan to enter the field and as a reference work for scientists already active in this and related areas. This book explains significantly the fundamental understanding of catalysis, most commercial catalysts, mixtures of multi-components; their nanoscale structures and the synthesis-structure-performance relationships. In addition, the book consists of several illustrations and diagrams for better understanding of the concepts. It is an encyclopedia of information for professionals and students of this field. This book brings together all relevant technologies new and existing ones. This book presents information in an easy-to-understand, accessible manner for students at every level. Readers, professionals, researchers and students will find this book valuable.
