2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Nanoscale Materials as Catalysts II

While the nanoscale is not foreign to heterogeneous catalysis, new developments in nanotechnology promise to create a new generation of catalysts with precise control of structures and desired functionalities. Papers are solicited to showcase such developments.
