Nanomaterial based catalyst
Nanomaterial-based catalysts are usually heterogeneous catalysts broken up into nanoparticles in order to speed up the catalytic process. The extremely small size of the particles maximizes the surface area exposed to the reactant, allowing more reactions to occur at the same time, thus speeding up the process.
