Nanoparticles exhibit a range of different properties when compared to
bulk materials. Their high surface-area to volume ratio makes them
particularly attractive for use as catalysts and recent years have seen
an explosion of research in this area. This book presents an
introduction to the preparation and characterisation of nanomaterials
and their design for specific catalytic applications. It is a valuable
resource for researchers working on catalytic reactions, industrial
processes and nanomaterial applications.
