Nanocatalysis: Advances and Reviews

We are delighted to present this inaugural “Advances and Reviews” Research Topic. The Nanocatalysis section of Frontiers in Nanotechnology solicits Original Research Articles, Perspectives, Reviews, and Mini Reviews on all aspects of catalysis at the nanoscale. The articles should cover topics that have seen significant development or progress in recent years, with comprehensive depth and a balanced perspective. We invite authors to present a complete overview of the “state-of-the-art” or new reports of catalysis or catalysts with at least one dimension or process at the nanoscale.

With this collection, we also wish to spark a multidisciplinary discussion on:

• Different schools of thought or controversies

• Fundamental concepts, current applications, issues, and problems

• Current research gaps

• Potential developments in the field

Authors may also contribute with Mini-Reviews that offer a succinct and clear summary of the topic, allowing readers to get up-to-date on new developments and/or emerging concepts.

Keywords: Nanocatalysts, Synthesis and Characterization, Shape Effects, Size Effects, Surface Composition Effects, Dimension Effects, Hydrophobicity, Hydrophilicity, Amorphous Materials, Defective Materials, Crystalline Materials

Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
