What Role Do Nanoparticles Play in Modern Catalysis?
Nanoparticles have revolutionized modern catalysis by offering unique properties such as high surface area-to-volume ratios and quantum effects. These properties can lead to enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity. Techniques like atomic layer deposition and colloidal synthesis are employed to precisely control the size and shape of nanoparticles, thereby optimizing their performance in catalytic applications.
