Abstract
This study explores the role of nano catalysts in enhancing catalytic performance through their unique properties and applications in sustainable chemistry. Nano catalysts, defined as materials operating at the nanometer scale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers, exhibit significantly increased surface area and altered electronic properties, leading to improved reaction rates and efficiencies. The investigation highlights the critical properties of nano catalysts, such as their high surface area-to-volume ratio, controlled shapes, and tunable surface functionalities, which contribute to their effectiveness in various catalytic processes. Different types of nano catalysts, including metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, and carbon-based nano materials, are examined for their distinct advantages and applications. Metal nanoparticles, like gold and platinum, offer enhanced catalytic activity due to their unique electronic behaviors, while metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide, provide stability in photocatalytic applications. Additionally, carbon-based nano materials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene, are recognized for their exceptional electrical conductivity and surface area, making them suitable for energy conversion and environmental remediation.
