What Are Some Common Types of Nanostructures Used in Catalysis?
Several types of nanostructures are commonly used in catalysis: 1. Nanoparticles: Small particles with dimensions in the nanometer range. They are widely used due to their high surface area and tunable properties. 2. Nanowires: One-dimensional structures that offer unique electronic and catalytic properties. 3. Nanosheets: Two-dimensional materials with large surface areas and high aspect ratios, providing numerous active sites. 4. Nanotubes: Cylindrical nanostructures that offer high surface areas and unique electronic properties.
