Nanotechnology in Catalysis 3

This book is the third volume of Nanotechnology in Catalysis. Although has been only 2 years since the Volumes 1 and 2 were published, many new contributions and breakthroughs have been made by researchers all over the world, showing the dynamic of nanotechnology in catalysis area.

In this book, esteemed researchers from all over the world have contributed research and review articles on smart nanosystems across various aspects. This compilation is designed to be valuable for nanoscience research groups as well as Ph.D. and graduate students, introducing them to the world of smart nanosystems and opening new ways of exploring their possible use in diverse scientific and practical areas.

This book describes the modern trends in nanoscience and nanotechnology for creation of smart hybrid nanosystems combining the inorganic nano-objects with organic, biological, and biocompatible materials, which create multifunctional and remotely controlled platforms for diverse technical and biomedical uses.

This book covers various subtopics of catalyst research. It provides essential background material on key concepts in catalyst technologies, along with recent developments in synthesis methods.

The chapters of this book written by different researchers include four chapters on the different methods of fabrication of specific materials followed by characterization of their properties, and focusing on the fabrications and applications including on biomedical applications, on sensors, on solar cells, and on the use of nanoparticles in herbicides.
