Design of Heterogeneous Catalysts: New Approaches based on Synthesis, Characterization and Modeling

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.
