(416a) Nanostructure Processing of Advanced Catalytic Materials

Nanostructured materials are of interest for a variety of applications. This talk describes the synthesis and applications of nanostructured materials for pharmaceuticals synthesis, biomass conversion, green house gas sequestration, fuel cells and biosensing. The nanostructured materials can be designed as nanocomposite materials with ultrahigh dispersion and synergistic effects between components. They are also derived in the form of nanoporous materials for the engineering of heterogeneous and heterogenized catalysts with excellent activity, selectivity and reusability.
