DESCRIPTION:Prof. Paolo Fornasiero\nHeterogeneous transition metal cataly
 sts are generally based on nanoparticles\, that nowadays can be synthesize
  with uniform size and shape. The extraordinary advances in material scien
 ce support a new vision for nanoscale-inspired design and synthesis of ind
 ustrially important catalysts. This precise structural and morphological c
 ontrol\, coupled with the possibility to modulate the metal-support intera
 ctions\, allowed us to have a step change increase in the activity\, selec
 tivity and stability of many industrially and environmentally important ca
 talysts. In this context\, renewable energy conversion\, pollution prevent
 ion and control are the real challenge of the 21st century and the focus o
 f the present talk.
