Nanoscale catalysts come in various forms, each with distinct properties and applications:
Metal nanoparticles: These are widely used in catalytic processes such as hydrogenation and oxidation. Metal oxides: Often employed in environmental catalysis, such as in the decomposition of pollutants. Carbon-based nanomaterials: Including graphene and carbon nanotubes, these materials are used in a range of catalytic reactions due to their excellent conductivity and stability. Zeolites: Microporous materials that are particularly effective in catalytic cracking and isomerization processes.
