Description
Springer Nanocatalysis 2007 Edition by Ulrich Heiz Uzi Landman
Nanocatalysis a subdiscipline of nanoscience seeks to control chemical reactions by changing the size dimensionality chemical composition and morphology of the reaction center and by changing the kinetics using nanopatterning of the reaction center. This book offers a detailed pedagogical and methodological overview of the field. Readers discover many examples of current research helping them explore new and emerging applications. Table of contents : Chemical and Catalytic Properties of Size-Selected Free and Supported Clusters.- Theory of Metal Clusters on the MgO Surface: The Role of Point Defects.- Catalysis by Nanoparticles.- Lithographic Techniques in Nanocatalysis.- Nanometer and Subnanometer Thin Oxide Films at Surfaces of Late Transition Metals.- Catalytic Applications for Gold Nanotechnology.
