Summary

Nanoscale Materials in Chemistry describes research on the development of catalysts and adsorbents based on nanoscale materials. It includes new fundamental research and applications, beginning with a review of research on the development of nanoscale metal oxides that have environmental applications. Information on product development is described for selected products that have been developed and commercialized. This book is for scientists and engineers who are engaged in research, development, and commercialization of nanoscale materials for environmental applications. Those interested in the pathway from idea to product will find this book valuable to them. Those interested in sustainable indoor environments will find new information on in room devices that may be able to reduce energy use in buildings. Toxicology and product safety are included as well.
