Emerging Nanomaterials for Catalysis and Sensor Applications

Anitha Varghese

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 remediation. 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 properties 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.

About the Author

Anitha Varghese obtained her PhD from Mangalore University, Karnataka, India in 2007, under the supervision of Dr A.M.A. Khader. Her PhD work concerned the sensing of heavy metal ions in various alloy steels, minerals, biological, soil, and water samples. In 2008, she started her career in CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, where she is a professor. Her current research interests include electrocatalysis for organic transformations and developing electrochemical sensors for biomolecules, flavonoids, pollutants, and food adulterants.

Gurumurthy Hegde obtained his PhD in liquid crystals in 2007 from the Centre for Nanomaterials and Soft Matter Science, Bengaluru.
