With the recent advent of nanotechnology, research and development
in the area of nanostructured catalysts has gained unprecedented
prominence. Novel materials with potentially exciting new
applications in catalysis are being discovered at a much higher
rate than ever before. Innovative tools to fabricate, manipulate,
characterize, and evaluate such materials are being developed and
expanded. To keep pace with this extremely rapid growth, it is
necessary to take a breath from time to time, to critically assess
the current knowledge and provide thoughts for future developments.
This book represents one of these moments, as a number of prominent
scientists in nanostructured catalysts join forces to provide
insightful reviews of their areas of expertise; thus, offering an
overall picture of the state-of-the art of the field.
Nanostructured materials designate an increasing number of
materials with designed shapes, surfaces, structures, pore systems,
etc. In general, nanostructured catalysts have modified surfaces,
including materials whose surfaces have been altered via such
techniques as grafting and tethering of organic or organometallic
species, or through various deposition procedures including
electro, electroless, and vapor deposition, or simple adsorption.
Materials with designed regular pore systems, such as zeolites,
metallophosphates, periodic mesoporous materials, nanoporous
organic, and organometallic materials are also members of the large
family of nanostructured materials. These materials are of
paramount importance, particularly in catalysis.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of this book is the
fact that it is all-inclusive, since most of the materialslisted
above have been dealt with in a concise and informative manner.
With fourteen up-to-date reports on the design, synthesis, and
catalytic properties of nanostructured materials, this book sets
the stage for things to come in this area. The development of novel
catalysts, taking advantage of the many interesting attributes of
periodic nanoporous materials, and the discovery of innovative
materials, such as polymer- silica nanocomposites and confined
nanoparticles, are some of the leading ideas for future work in the
increasingly important field of nanostructured catalysts.
