Nanostructuring is crucial in catalysis due to several reasons:
Enhanced Surface Area: Nanostructured catalysts have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, providing more active sites for reactions. Improved Activity: The unique electronic properties of nanomaterials can lead to increased catalytic activity and selectivity. Stability: Nanostructured catalysts can exhibit improved thermal and mechanical stability. Cost Efficiency: Using less material to achieve the same or better catalytic performance can reduce costs.
