Design of Heterogeneous Catalysts

Heterogeneous catalysts provide a surface for a chemical reaction to take place on, as it is in a different phase to the reactants. This reference book brings together examples from a wide array of fields where catalyst design has been based on new insights and understanding. Modern and important topics such as self-assembly, nature-inspired catalysis, nano-scale architecture of surfaces and theoretical methods are addressed. With its inclusion of all the useful and powerful tools for the rational design of catalysts, this is a true must have book every researcher in the field. From the Contents: * Use of Oxide Nanoligands in Designing/Controlling Actives Sites * Optimal Design of Hierarchically Structured Porous Catalysts * Use of Dendrimers in Catalytic Design * Rational Design Strategies for Industrial Catalysts * Chiral Modification of Catalytic Surfaces * Catalytic Nanomotors * Rational Design and High-Throughput Screening of Metal Open Frameworks for Gas Separation and Catalysis * Design of Bimetallic Hydrogenation Catalysts: From Model Surfaces to Supported Catalysts * Self-Assembled Materials for Catalysis * Theory-Aided Catalyst Design * Use of In-Situ XAS Techniques for Catalysts' Characterization and Design * Catalyst Design Through Dual Templating
