Nanomaterials in Catalysis

Nanocatalysis has emerged as a field at the interface between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and offers unique solutions tothe demanding requirements for catalyst improvement. Heterogeneous catalysis represents one of the oldest commercial applications of nanoscience and nanoparticles of metals, semiconductors, oxides, and other compounds have been widely used for important chemical reactions. The main focus of this fi eld is the development of well-defined catalysts, which may include both metal nanoparticles and a nanomaterial as the support. These nanocatalysts should display the benefits of both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts, such as high efficiency and selectivity, stability and easy recovery/recycling. The concept of nanocatalysis is outlined in this book and, in particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles. A broad range of topics, from the fundamentals to applications in catalysis, are covered, without excluding micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids, dendrimers, nanotubes, and nanooxides, as well as modeling, and the characterization of nanocatalysts, making it an indispensable reference for both researchers at universities andprofessionals in industry.

Info autore

Philippe Serp is full Professor of Catalysis at the Institute National Polytechnique de Toulouse (France) since 2005. His research interests include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and catalytic CVD preparation of nanostructured catalytic materials as nanoparticles, nanotubes as well as nanowires, and the understanding of homogeneous catalytic reactions, fields in which he has published several papers, book chapters and patents. He was the recipient of the Catalysis Division of the French Chemical Society Award in 2004, and the APDF "Celestino da Costa/Jean Perrin" award in 2005.

Karine Philippot is Chargée de Recherche at CNRS, in the Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry at Toulouse University (France). Her research interests concern the development of synthetic methods based on organometallic chemistry to access well-controlled metal nanoparticles and nanomaterials in terms of size, composition and shape, and their application in colloidal or supported catalysis. She has published several papers, book chapters and patents.

Riassunto

Nanocatalysis has emerged as a field at the interface between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and offers unique solutions to
the demanding requirements for catalyst improvement. Heterogeneous catalysis represents one of the oldest commercial applications of nanoscience and nanoparticles of metals, semiconductors, oxides, and other compounds have been widely used for important chemical reactions. The main focus of this fi eld is the development of well-defined catalysts, which may include both metal nanoparticles and a nanomaterial as the support. These nanocatalysts should display the benefits of both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts, such as high efficiency and selectivity, stability and easy recovery/recycling. The concept of nanocatalysis is outlined in this book and, in particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles. A broad range of topics, from the fundamentals to applications in catalysis, are covered, without excluding micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids, dendrimers, nanotubes, and nanooxides, as well as modeling, and the characterization of nanocatalysts, making it an indispensable reference for both researchers at universities and
professionals in industry.
