One-dimensional Conductive Materials for Catalysis

Catalytic sequences generally occur at an atomic scale on the defect sites, i.e. terrace sites, edge sites and kink sites, of the active phase nanoparticles. Often the true active sites are generated during the catalytic reaction by surface modification in the presence of the reactants and products. In these cases, the surface nature 

It is expected that these 1D materials (carbon and/or carbide) will be extensively employed in numerous fields in the near future, from energy to healthcare to environment Some examples of the catalytic application of these ID materials reaUzed in the laboratory are detailed below. For the details of the numerous reactions that involve 1D materials the reader can refer to the recent reviews published in this field [5-10].
