Some Aspects Of Particuology In Heterogeneous Catalysts

The design and synthesis of particulate materials for new catalyst systems with novel properties remain a big challenge today. Here an attempt has been made to synthesize particulate materials for several heterogeneous catalytic systems, which contain examples from our recent research projects in this area. The particulate catalysts have been designed for single centre catalyst, phase-boundary catalyst, bifunctional catalyst, photocatalyst and chiral catalyst. In our current research, the synthesis of wellaligned titanium dioxide catalyst with very high length to the diameter ratio has also been demonstrated for the first time by sol-gel method under magnetic field with surfactant as the structure aligning agent.
