Section I reviews the new concepts and applications of nanotechnology for catalysis. Chapter 1 provides an overview on how nanotechnology impacts catalyst preparation with more control of active sites, phases, and environment of actives sites. The values of catalysis in advancing development of nanotechnology where catalysts are used to facilitate the production of carbon nanotubes, and catalytic reactions to provide the driving force for motions in nano-machines are also reviewed. Chapter 2 investigates the role of oxide support materials in modifying the electronic stmcture at the surface of a metal, and discusses how metal surface structure and properties influence the reactivity at molecular level. Chapter 3 describes a nanomotor driven by catalysis of chemical reactions. 

Many of the devices that have thus far been envisioned as products of nanotechnology (e.g., nanoscale environmental sensors, information processors. and actuators) cannot be produced by the large-scale microfabrication techniques currently in use. The further development of nanotechnology hinges on the understanding and manipulation of physical laws and processes at the nanometer level, such as electronic, interatomic, and mter-molecular interactions that can be manipulated lu allow efficient assembly of nanostructures. 

Electrochemical reactions may be carried out at any scale from the smallest to the largest and progress in nanotechnology has made it possible to address electron transfer at the single molecule level [26, 27]. Conversions at the laboratory scale are well established and have been addressed by numerous authors [1, 2] and, at the industrial scale, more than 50 electrochemical processes have reached a respectable level with the reductive hydrodimeri-sation of acrylonitrile to adiponitrile topping the list with an annual production of about 300 000 tons [28],...

There is an overview of the probe nanotechnology research in the Center of Probe Microscopy and Nanotechnology of MET (TU). We demonstrate the results in development of quasi-one-dimensional metallic and carbon electronics, carbon nanotubes production, sensor application, and graphene based nanosystem devices. 

The one perspective field of researches for a probe nanotechnology is a development of carbon-based electronic elements. Carbon has found wide application in electronics and nuclear technology because of high thermal and radiation resistance. The methods of conventional planar microelectronics can be combined with probe technology for production of totally integrated carbon devices. 

For further evolution of the probe nanotechnology we should have new types of fine probes. We have developed focused ion beam (FIB) methods for silicon probe modification and sharp pointing. They are very powerful for the fabrication of probes with desirable properties and orientations. Fig. 3 displays the application of this method for integrated CNT and graphene based electronics and nanosystems in mass production.
