Current Problems of Nanocatalysis (by materials of scientific report at the meeting of Presidium of NAS of Ukraine 21 May 2014)
We consider the main problems of nanocatalysis, which is a branch of physical chemistry that is rapidly developing during last decades. The main consequences of nanosize effect for catalysis are discussed. We also highlight the main approaches for developing new heterogeneous catalytic chemical processes and catalysts based on modern nanomaterials, particularly, metal nanoparticles, various oxide nanosystems, nanoporous materials, and two-dimensional nanosystems. The main directions of further studies are discussed
