How Do Nanocatalysts Differ from Conventional Catalysts?
Nanocatalysts are catalysts that operate at the nanoscale, often between 1 and 100 nanometers. These catalysts have unique properties due to their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio. Nanocatalysts can exhibit enhanced catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability compared to conventional catalysts. However, they also present challenges in terms of stability and potential agglomeration, which can reduce their effectiveness.
