Catalysts,heterogeneous,homogeneous,andenzyme,areusuallynanoparticles.These areofvitalforthefunctioningof thehumanbody,forphotosynthesis,andforproducing fuels and chemicals in the petroleum and chemical industries. Interest in nanoscience and in nanotechnology in recent years has focused attention on the opportunity to develop catalysts that exhibit 100% selectivity for a desired product, thus removing byproducts and eliminating waste. This type of selective process is often called green ch...
