In the field of catalysis, nanofluids offer several advantages:
1. Enhanced Mass and Heat Transfer: The high surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles improves the mass and heat transfer rates. This is crucial for catalytic reactions which often require efficient thermal management. 2. Increased Catalytic Activity: The active sites on the nanoparticles can offer higher catalytic activity due to the increased surface area and unique electronic properties. 3. Stability and Dispersion: Nanofluids provide a stable medium for dispersing nanoparticles, preventing agglomeration and ensuring uniform catalytic activity throughout the reaction medium.
