Abstract

Advanced nanocomposites have contributed to catalysis and are prime choice for the researchers in various important catalytic protocols and benign conversions. The nanocatalysts include magnetic-nanocomposites, carbon-based nanomaterials, core-shell (Pd@Pt) catalysts and morphologydependent iron oxides. Sustainable nanotechnology improvements over the years have recommended significant and extraordinary series of progresses in the design of heterogeneous nanocatalysts. Notably, nanomaterials for catalysis can now be envisioned and organized with need for exact catalytic applications. Core shell nanocomposites, orphology-dependent iron oxide and metal supported nanoparticles can be synthesized via more ecological paths with distinctive structure, morphology and composition. Our recent research activity on the practice of nanomaterials nanocatalyst and its catalytic applications will be highlighted.
