Book Description

The development of various high-performance electrochemical devices is crucial for mitigating the global climate crisis, and thus the design and fabrication of advanced electrode materials is highly significant. Currently, atomically dispersed metal on catalysts (ADMCs) have shown great potential in boosting the performance of various energy storage/conversion devices involving aqueous and aprotic catalytic processes, including fuel cells, water electrolyzers, CO2 electrolyzers, metal-air batteries, and metal-sulfur batteries, as well as systems involving noncatalytic deposition/adsorption of metals. To date, several reliable fabrication methodologies that can ensure the formation of ADMCs have been demonstrated, and continuous optimization is still being performed. To further reinforce the basic scientific research and promote possible practical applications of these materials, we have analyzed, compared, and summarized progress in the fabrication methodology and formation mechanism of ADMCs in this review. This review aims to draw a comprehensive picture of the current methodology and underlying mechanism in the field of material fabrication to serve as guidance for future material design.

Book Description

Catalysis is a central topic in chemical transformation and energy conversion. Thanks to the spectacular achievements of colloidal chemistry and the synthesis of nanomaterials over the last two decades, there have also been significant advances in nanoparticle catalysis. Catalysis on different metal nanostructures with well-defined structures and composition has been extensively studied. Metal nanocrystals synthesized with colloidal chemistry exhibit different catalytic performances in contrast to metal nanoparticles prepared with impregnation or deposition precipitation. Additionally, theoretical approaches in predicting catalysis performance and understanding catalytic mechanism on these metal nanocatalysts have made significant progress. Metal Nanoparticles for Catalysis is a comprehensive text on catalysis on Nanoparticles, looking at both their synthesis and applications. Chapter topics include nanoreactor catalysis; Pd nanoparticles in C-C coupling reactions; metal salt-based gold nanocatalysts; theoretical insights into metal nanocatalysts; and nanoparticle mediated clock reaction. This book bridges the gap between nanomaterials synthesis and characterization, and catalysis. As such, this text will be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in these exciting fields.

Book Description

The need to improve both the efficiency and environmental acceptability of industrial processes is driving the development of heterogeneous catalysts across the chemical industry, including commodity, specialty and fine chemicals and in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Drawing on international research, Supported Catalysts and their Applications discusses aspects of the design, synthesis and application of solid supported reagents and catalysts, including supported reagents for multi-step organic synthesis; selectivity in oxidation catalysis; mesoporous molecular sieve catalysts; and the use of Zeolite Beta in organic reactions. In addition, the two discrete areas of heterogeneous catalysis (inorganic oxide materials and polymer-based catalysts) that were developing in parallel are now shown to be converging, which will be of great benefit to the whole field. Providing a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in this fast-moving field, this book will be welcomed by industrialists and researchers, particularly in the agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals industries.
