Our Applications-Catalysts

Commercial interest in nanocatalysts is driven by the need for:

• Higher Surface Area — Nanoparticle catalysts dramatically increase the accessible surface area for catalytic activity.
  
  
• More Surface Sites — Most important catalytic sites are corners, edges or other structural imperfections. Due to small size, nanoparticles have an increased number of active sites.
  


• Complex Multi-Component Catalysts — Nanoparticles can be efficiently engineered to have multiple activating or coordinating sites near one another, improving catalytic efficiency.

Northern Nanotechnologies uses its nanocrafting process to develop a wide range of nanomaterial catalysts for industry. These can be seamlessly integrated with your processes and applied on most substrates.

Most importantly, NNT can customize and tune the catalysts to match your specifications. NNT has the ability to make nanoscale catalysts for:

• Allylic Alkylations
• Aminations
• Carbon Coupling Reactions
• Carboxylations
• CO Oxidation
• Catalytic Converters
• Combustion Reactions
• Fuel Cells
• H2 Oxidation
• Hydroconversion of Hydrocarbons
• Hydrogenations
• Methanol Reforming
• Silane Coupling Reactions
