Description Nano system is known as a functional system for doing a task in which nanomaterials are used. Nano systems are explained in this course.
Overview
Nano systems are known as multifunctional systems engineered at nanoscales. Distinctive physicochemical properties with massive prospects in therapeutic and diagnostic applications distinguish this kind of systems.

Nanomaterials are chemical substances or materials that are synthesized and used at nanoscales. Nanomaterials are developed for exhibiting striking features in comparison with the same materials without nanoscale features; features such as increased strength, chemical reactivity, conductivity and magnetic.


Booklet
Description
It starts with a history, parameters such as reaction time, temperature and reactant concentration, top-down and bottom-up approaches, … . It gives a brief discussion on bottom-up approach, and goes through metal nanoparticle synthesis, and affective parameters on the synthesis. Then it talks about the problems ahead, and their solutions. Finally, it talks about nanocatalyst synthesis methods and their pros and cons. And, it ends with porous nanocatalysts.

Mental Challenge
Why is it important how to synthesize the nanocatalyst?

Quizzes and Activities
Activity 1: Find a real-world function of mesoporous nanocatalysts?
