Collection
Nano Catalyst for Energy Conversion and Storage
Nanomaterials have the unique advantages of high specific surface area and multiple active sites, and have great potential applications in the field of energy conversion storage (especially catalysis). However, in the actual catalytic reaction process, there are still some disputes about whether the structure of the nano catalyst surface has evolved and how it can help the chemical reaction. Therefore, this Topical Collection will invite call on researchers/academics to pay more attention to the real active sites and potential changes of catalyst structure in the catalytic reaction process, and to develop efficient and stable nano catalyst for basic research or industrial production in energy field.
Keywords: Energy conversion; nano-catalyst; active sites; catalytic/deactivation mechanism; structure-property relationship
