Design of heterogeneous catalysts: new approaches based on synthesis, characterization and modeling

Although catalysis has played a major role in chemical industry, energy, and environmental protection areas for more than a century, the design of catalysts has been mostly governed by empirical approaches. With the availability of characterization techniques that can examine surface reactions at the molecularlevel, with powerful computational tools and molecular modeling capabilities and with novel approaches to catalyst synthesis at the nanoscale, this book provides examples of catalyst design based on these new insights and understanding.
