Nanomaterials in Catalysis

Description

Wiley, 2013. — 509 p.Edited by rising stars in the community, the team of prominent expert authors provides here authoritative first-hand information on the fundamental principles of nanomaterials, as well as their application in catalysis. As a result, the book defines the concepts of nanocatalysis and gives a comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles in particular. Chapters cover micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids, dendrimers, nanotubes, nanooxides as well as microreactors, modeling, and characterization of nanocatalysts. An indispensable reference for both researchers at universities and professionals in industry.Contents Foreword Preface List of Contributors Concepts in Nanocatalysis Metallic Nanoparticles in Neat Water for Catalytic Applications Catalysis by Dendrimer-Stabilized and Dendrimer-Encapsulated Late-Transition-Metal Nanoparticles Nanostructured Metal Particles for Catalysts and Energy-Related Materials Metallic Nanoparticles in Ionic Liquids – Applications in Catalysis Supported Ionic Liquid Thin Film Technology Nanostructured Materials Synthesis in Supercritical Fluids for Catalysis Applications Recovery of Metallic Nanoparticles Carbon Nanotubes and Related Carbonaceous Structures Nano-oxides Confinement Effects in Nanosupports In Silico Nanocatalysis with Transition Metal Particles: Where Are We Now?
