How do Nanostructured Catalysts Enhance Performance?
Nanostructured catalysts have several advantages:
- Increased Surface Area: Nanoparticles have a high surface-to-volume ratio, providing more active sites for reactions. - Enhanced Reactivity: The unique electronic and structural properties of nanoparticles can enhance catalytic activity. - Tailored Properties: By controlling the size, shape, and composition of nanoparticles, catalysts can be designed for specific reactions.
