Emerging Nanomaterials for Catalysis and Sensor Applications This book reviews emerging nanomaterials in catalysis and sensors. The catalysis section covers the role of nano- photocatalysts in organic synthesis and health care application, oxidation and sulphoxidation reactions, liquid phase oxidation, hydrogen evolution and environmental remedi- ation. It highlights the correlation of surface properties and catalytic activity of the mesoporous materials. The sensor section discusses the fabrication and development of various electrochemical, chemical, and biosensors. Features: • Combines catalysis and sensor applications of nanomaterials, including detailed synthesis techniques of these materials. • Explores methods of designing, engineering, and fabricating nanomaterials. • Covers material efficiency, their detection limit for sensing different analytes and other prop- erties of the materials. • Discusses sustainability of nano materials in the industrial sector. • Includes case studies to address the challenges faced by research and development sectors. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in Chemical Engineering, Nanochemistry, Water Treatment Engineering and Labs, Industries, Research Labs in Catalysis and Sensors, Environmental Engineering, and Process Engineering. Emerging Materials and Technologies Series Editor: Boris I. Kharissov The Emerging Materials and Technologies series is devoted to highlighting publications centered on emerging advanced materials and novel technologies. Attention is paid to those newly discovered or applied materials with potential to solve pressing societal problems and improve quality of life, corresponding to environmental protection, medicine, communications, energy, transportation, advanced manufacturing, and related areas. The series takes into account that, under present strong demands for energy, material, and cost savings, as well as heavy contamination problems and worldwide pandemic conditions, the area of emerging materials and related scalable technologies is a highly interdisciplinary field, with the need for researchers, professionals, and academics across the spectrum of engineering and technological disciplines. The main objective of this book series is to attract more attention to these materials and technologies and invite conversation among the international R&D community.
