Nanocatalysis
Guest edited by Dr In Young Kim, Dr Michelle Personick, and Dr Zhiqun Lin.
Nanocatalysis represents an exciting subfield in nanoscience and nanotechnology which involves the use of nanomaterials and subnano-sized materials (nanoclusters, diatoms, single atoms) as catalysts for a wide variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic applications. Along with significant advances in nanomaterial design and synthesis assisted by machine learning, in-situ/ex-situ characterization techniques, and computational chemistry, the past several decades have witnessed a flood of research activities in this rapidly evolving area with most of the studies focusing on the effects of size, shape, chemical composition and morphology on catalytic properties and performance. This has led to the development of highly effective catalysts with enhanced activity, selectivity, and stability.
This special themed collection aims to provide a platform to showcase the recent progress and challenges in the field of nanocatalysis.
