Design and Properties of Confined Nanocatalysts by Atomic Layer Deposition

Design and Properties of Confined Nanocatalysts by Atomic Layer Deposition
Zhe Gao, Yong Qin
Governing the process and outcome of chemical reactions is the most important aim of catalytic chemistry. The confinement of active sites inside nanosized spaces provides a powerful strategy to achieve this goal. Reacting molecules (reactants, intermediates, and products of a reaction) and nanomaterials (metal/metal-oxide nanoparticles) confined inside nanoreactors have been observed to exhibit modified behaviors and properties with respect to their unconfined counterparts. Typically, catalysts confined in zeolites, mesoporous materials, metal–organic frameworks, and nanotubes are obtained by traditional liquid-phase methods. However, excess metals or undesired solvents and other reagents must be removed. It is also difficult to precisely regulate the confined nanostructures and assemble multifunctional sites in the confined nanospaces.
