What Role Do Nanomaterials Play in Managing Oxidative Stress in Catalysis?
Nanomaterials, due to their high surface area and unique properties, can be engineered to either minimize the generation of ROS or enhance the scavenging of ROS. For example, cerium oxide nanoparticles have been shown to mimic the activity of natural antioxidants like catalase and SOD, thereby reducing oxidative stress in catalytic processes.
