Surface and Nanomolecular Catalysis reveals new insights into the surface chemistry of catalysts and the reaction mechanisms that actually occur at a molecular level during catalysis.

Features:

• Details the implications of new properties observed in nanoscale materials that do not exist in their larger counterparts
• Discusses heterogeneous catalysts including metal oxides, colloids, microporous and mesoporous materials, fuel cell catalysts, and skeletal catalysts
• Examines heterogeneous photocatalysis, liquid-phase oxidations catalyzed by polyoxometalates, and enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis
• Highlights the growing role of high-throughput experimentation and combinatorial approaches
• Features the contributions of leading scientists in academia and industry with a range of backgrounds including chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, and materials science
