Book description
Edited by rising stars in the community, the team of prominent expert
authors provides here authoritative first-hand information on the
fundamental principles of nanomaterials, as well as their application in catalysis.
As a result, the book defines the concepts of nanocatalysis and gives a
comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles in
particular. Chapters cover micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids,
dendrimers, nanotubes, nanooxides as well as microreactors, modeling,
and characterization of nanocatalysts.
An indispensable reference for both researchers at universities and
professionals in industry.
Philippe Serp is full Professor of Catalysis at the Institute
National Polytechnique de Toulouse (France) since 2005. His research
interests include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and catalytic CVD
preparation of nanostructured catalytic materials as nanoparticles,
nanotubes as well as nanowires, and the understanding of homogeneous
catalytic reactions, fields in which he has published over 110 papers,
among which 7 review articles, 12 book chapters and 13 patents. He was
the recipient of the Catalysis Division of the French Chemical Society
Award in 2004, and the APDF "Celestino da Costa/Jean Perrin"
award in 2005.
Karine Philippot is Chargee de Recherche at CNRS, in the Laboratory of
Coordination Chemistry at Toulouse University (France). Her research
interests concern the development of synthetic methods based on
organometallic chemistry to access well-controlled metal nanoparticles
and nanomaterials in terms of size, composition and shape, and their
application in colloidal or supported catalysis. She has published 71
papers, 3 book chapters and 4 patents.
