Nanocatalysis has emerged as an important area of study from its roots in catalysis, surface science, and solid-state physics. The distinguishing feature in nanocatalysis is the intentional synthesis of uniform, high-quality nanocrystals in which their morphology dictates the electronic structure–surface topology combination. Early fundamental work seeks to establish the specific effects of structure and topology on turnover frequency and selectivity in catalysis. An eventual goal is to engineer nanocrystals for specific catalytic processes.
