How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Heterogeneous Catalysts?
Nanotechnology enhances the performance of heterogeneous catalysts by increasing their surface area and providing unique properties at the nanoscale. This increased surface area allows for more active sites where reactions can occur, thereby improving the efficiency and selectivity of the catalytic process. Additionally, the unique electronic, optical, and chemical properties of nanomaterials can lead to new catalytic behaviors that are not possible with bulk materials.
