Nanomaterials: New Research Developments

Product Description
Nanomaterials is the study of how materials behave when their dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale. It can also refer to the materials themselves that are used in nanotechnology. Materials reduced to the nanoscale can suddenly show very different properties compared to what they exhibit on a macroscale, enabling unique applications. For instance, opaque substances become transparent (copper); inert materials become catalysts (platinum); stable materials turn combustible (aluminum); solids turn into liquids at room temperature (gold); insulators become conductors (silicon). Materials such as gold, which is chemically inert at normal scales, can serve as a potent chemical catalyst at nanoscales. Much of the fascination with nanotechnology stems from these unique quantum and surface phenomena that matter exhibits at the nanoscale. This book presents the latest research from around the globe.

Cheap hydrogen fuel from seawater may be a step closer

Cheap hydrogen fuel from seawater may be a step closer
(PhysOrg.com) — A new catalyst has been developed to generate hydrogen from water cheaply, but the research was originally intended to make molecules that behaved like magnets. Hydrogen is a clean power source currently produced from natural gas, with carbon dioxide as a bi-product. Producing hydrogen from water produces oxygen as a bi-product instead.

Nanotechnology in Catalysis 3

Product Description

This volume continues the tradition formed in Nanotechnology in Catalysis 1 and 2. As with those books, this one is based upon an ACS symposium. Some of the most illustrious names in heterogeneous catalysis are among the contributors.

The book covers:
- Design, synthesis, and control of catalysts at nanoscale
- Understanding of catalytic reaction at nanometer scale
- Characterization of nanomaterials as catalysts
- Nanoparticle metal or metal oxides catalysts
- Nanomaterials as catalyst supports
- New catalytic applications of nanomaterials
