Journal of Electroceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Nanocrystalline and nanoporous materials with uniquecharacteristics have attracted a great deal of research interest in the pastdecade. This paper discusses the latest advances in nanostructure processingwhich enable us to better control surface area, cluster size, grainmorphology, pore structure, component dispersion, phase distribution, anddefect concentration to engineer advanced catalysts with significantlyimproved reactivity and selectivity. Areas deserving further research toexplore and realize the full potential of nanostructured catalytic materialsare presented.
