Exhibiting both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic properties,nanocatalysts allow for rapid and selective chemicaltransformations, with the benefits of excellent product yield andease of catalyst separation and recovery. This book reviews thecatalytic performance and the synthesis and characterization ofnanocatalysts, examining the current state of the art and pointingthe way towards new avenues of research. Moreover, the authorsdiscuss new and emerging applications of nanocatalysts andnanocatalysis, from pharmaceuticals to fine chemicals to renewableenergy to biotransformations.
Nanocatalysis features contributions from leadingresearch groups around the world. These contributions reflect athorough review of the current literature as well as theauthors' first-hand experience designing and synthesizingnanocatalysts and developing new applications for them. Thebook's nineteen chapters offer a broad perspective,covering:
* Nanocatalysis for carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom couplingreactions
* Nanocatalysis for various organic transformations in finechemical synthesis
* Nanocatalysis for oxidation, hydrogenation, and other relatedreactions
* Nanomaterial-based photocatalysis and biocatalysis
* Nanocatalysts to produce non-conventional energy such ashydrogen and biofuels
* Nanocatalysts and nano-biocatalysts in the chemicalindustry
Readers will also learn about the latest spectroscopic andmicroscopy tools used in advanced characterization methods thatshed new light on nanocatalysts and nanocatalysis. Moreover, theauthors offer expert advice to help readers develop strategies toimprove catalytic performance.
Summarizing and reviewing all the most important advances innanocatalysis over the last two decades, this book explains themany advantages of nanocatalysts over conventional homogeneous andheterogeneous catalysts, providing the information and guidanceneeded for designing green, sustainable catalytic processes.
