The scientific activity of the Division of Nanomaterials Chemistry and Catalysis is devoted to the study of the relationship between the structure and chemical reactivity of highly dispersed solids. In this activity, we use various methods of production, physicochemical characterization and testing the chemical activity of highly dispersed materials (nanomaterials). The results of our research allow us to better understand how the structure of nanoparticles (shape, size and surface condition) affects their interaction with gases and the carrier surface. The obtained basic knowledge is essential in the process of developing new or improving the existing heterogeneous catalysts.
