How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Catalysts?

Catalysts are essential in petroleum refining for breaking down complex hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. Nanotechnology allows for the creation of nanocatalysts with a larger surface area and higher catalytic activity. These nanocatalysts can operate at lower temperatures and pressures, thus reducing energy consumption and improving the overall efficiency of the refining process.
