Novel Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Materials for Catalysis - Synthesis and Processing

Catalysis is a crucial technology for a wide range of applications: it can be considered as one of the most successful applications of nanoscience. Most catalysts, developed predominantly by trail-and-error method, consist of materials with nano-sized features dispersed on a high–surface area support. The current progress in nanoscience could lead to substantially more efficient catalyst development. This session invites theoretical and experimental reports on the development new methods of synthesis, deposition, and processing of novel catalysts.
