Nanoparticles in Catalysis

Nanoparticles in Catalysis

Discover an essential overview of recent advances and trends in nanoparticle catalysis

Catalysis in the presence of metal nanoparticles is an important and rapidly developing research field at the frontier of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. In Nanoparticles in Catalysis, accomplished chemists and authors Karine Philippot and Alain Roucoux deliver a comprehensive guide to the key aspects of nanoparticle catalysis, ranging from synthesis, activation methodology, characterization, and theoretical modeling, to application in important catalytic reactions, like hydrogen production and biomass conversion.

The book offers readers a review of modern and efficient tools for the synthesis of nanoparticles in solution or onto supports. It emphasizes the application of metal nanoparticles in important catalytic reactions and includes chapters on activation methodology and supported nanoclusters. Written by an international team of leading voices in the field, Nanoparticles in Catalysis is an indispensable resource for researchers and professionals in academia and industry alike.

Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

A thorough introduction to New Trends in the Design of Metal Nanoparticles and Derived Nanomaterials for CatalysisAn exploration of Dynamic Catalysis and the Interface Between Molecular and Heterogeneous CatalystsA practical discussion of Metal Nanoparticles in Water: A Relevant Toolbox for Green CatalysisOrganometallic Metal Nanoparticles for CatalysisA concise treatment of the opportunities and challenges of CO₂ Hydrogenation to Oxygenated Chemicals Over Supported Nanoparticle Catalysts

Perfect for catalytic, organic, inorganic, and physical chemists, Nanoparticles in Catalysis will also earn a place in the libraries of chemists working with organometallics and materials scientists seeking a one-stop resource with expert knowledge on the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticle catalysis.
