Nanomaterial-Based Metal Organic Frameworks for Single Atom Catalysis

Book excerpt: Nanoparticles possesses particular properties, including tuneable pore size, efficient reacting capability, large surface area, and morphology, which make them effective catalytic agents. Catalytic systems, in which nanomaterial-based metal organic frameworks can be applied efficiently as single atom catalysis, to enable enhanced functionalities and activities of the reactions in various applications. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid organic-inorganic, porous, crystalline nanomaterials, and have aroused great attention in the field of catalysis because of their crystalized nano- (2 nm) or meso- (2-50 nm) porous structure, extremely high surface area, and significant chemical diversity. This nanomaterial-based metal organic framework, as a single atom catalysis, enhances the catalytic ability of dispersed single atoms.brbrThis book is an important reference source that will be of use to materials scientists, engineers, chemists and chemical engineers who want to learn more about nanomaterials are being used for catalytic applications. brbr Provides information on the reactions catalyzed by single atom catalysts at the nanoscale Explains the major applications of metal-organic-framework-derived nanomaterials Assesses the major challenges of applying metal organic framework-derived nanomaterials on an industrial scale
