DESCRIPTION:Prof. Paolo Fornasiero\, ICCOM-CNR and INSTM\nHeterogeneous tr
 ansition metal catalysts are generally based on nanoparticles\, that nowad
 ays can be synthesize with uniform size and shape. The extraordinary advan
 ces in material science support a new vision for nanoscale-inspired design
  and synthesis of industrially important catalysts. This precise structura
 l and morphological control\, coupled with the possibility to modulate the
  metal-support interactions\, allowed us to have a step change increase in
  the activity\, selectivity and stability of many industrially and environ
 mentally important catalysts.\nIn this context\, renewable energy conversi
 on\, pollution prevention and control are the real challenge of the 21st c
 entury and the focus of the present talk.
