However, at nanoscale, it is proving to be an important material for catalysis owing to its shape, size and crystal structure arrangement[2].
Catalytically grown carbon nanofibers, a novel mesoporous carbon material for catalysis, were synthesized by the decomposition of carbon-containing gases (CH4, C2H4 or CO) over supported nickel-iron alloy and unsupported iron.
He received his PhD degree in organic-inorganic nanohybrid materials for catalysis and antimicrobial application.
Plasmonic modulation of the catalytic performances of metallic nanostructures shows great potential in the development of novel materials for catalysis.
Important assets of these materials for catalysis and solar energy harvesting are their porosity and electrical conductivity.
In the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the most wanted materials due to their extraordinary properties and potential applications as step forward materials for catalysis, composite reinforcement materials, microelectronics, energy storage, chemical sensors, etc. [1,2].
The developed laboratory technology corresponds to the conception of soft chemistry and may be adapted to the manufacture of ultradispersed materials for catalysis, solar cells, fuel cells, semiconductors, sensors, low-sized electronic devices of new generation, etc.

We use copper (II) oxide (CuO) NWs decorated by cobalt (II, III) oxide (Co3O4) as a model system because both CuO and Co3O4 are important materials for catalysis and electrochemical applications and hence control of their composites and nanostructures during the synthesis is critical to improve their properties [24 28].
The introduction first shortly overviews the main reasons for the interest on carbon materials for catalysis and the elements of novelty discussed on the contributions of this issue, and then provide a concise outline of the general trends and developments in this field to give a glimpse on the progresses in the field, and on the perspectives of this exciting area of catalysis.
This study demonstrated a metal-free material for green catalysis in environmental remediation.
