Nanocatalysts enhance efficiency and selectivity in industrial chemistry, offering sustainable solutions for complex chemical processes.
By Stefano Tommasone Ph.D.Feb 20 2024Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. The development of nanomaterials has revolutionized various fields, including catalysis, playing a crucial role in driving chemical transformations. Nanocatalysts, which are catalysts with nanoscale dimensions , exhibit unique properties and are highly viable options not only for research applications but also for industrial catalytic processes.

Advantages of Nanocatalysts Over Conventional Catalysts Nanocatalysts offer several advantages over their conventional counterparts, making them highly desirable for industrial applications. Thanks to their high surface area-to-volume ratio, there are more active sites available for reactions to occur, which translate into increased catalytic activity and, therefore, higher reaction rates and improved efficiency.
Applications of Nanocatalysts in Industrial Processes The versatility of nanocatalysts makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications across various sectors. In the petrochemical industry, for instance, nanocatalysts can be used in processes such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and hydrocracking for the production of fuels and chemicals.
Related StoriesIn catalytic advanced oxidation processes , surface reactions are essential for the effective degradation of pollutants because active surface sites interact with oxidants such as ozone and hydrogen peroxide, producing hydroxyl radicals. The large specific surface area and high density of active sites are essential properties of nanocatalysts in AOPs to effectively degrade and remove pollutants.
The catalytic performance is also influenced by the shape and geometry of the participating entities. Different nanoparticles may exhibit different morphology and electronic states; as such, the same reaction could display different activities and selectivity depending on the nanocatalyst used.6 It is necessary to conduct extensive research to better understand the optimal reaction conditions and nature of active sites to make proper use of catalysts in practical situations outside of the laboratory. The integration of nanocatalysts with microreactors and continuous flow systems holds great potential for optimizing reaction conditions and scaling up processes.
