TLDR

Nanoscience drives the miniaturization of devices with enhanced properties, positioning catalysis as a key application area amid ongoing research into functional approaches. This review summarizes literature on the practical applications of nano‑sized catalysts for everyday human use. The authors compile reported uses of nanocatalysts across domains such as water purification, fuel cells, energy storage, rocket propellants, biodiesel, medicine, dyes, and carbon‑nanotube‑based systems. The review finds that reducing catalyst size to the nanoscale enhances catalytic performance and highlights its diverse applications in purification, energy, propulsion, biofuels, medicine, dyes, and carbon‑nanotube technologies.

Abstract

In the era of nanoscience where all the devices and technologies are going to smaller and smaller in size with improved properties; catalysis is an important field of application. In this review article we are trying to summarize data reported in literature for application of nano sized catalyst in our daily life which are useful for human beings. Improvement in catalytic properties due size of catalyst reduced to nano scale is discussed here. Introductive points regarding nanoscience; their functional approaches; current research are also here. Main applications of nanocatalysts in water purification; fuel cell; energy storage; in composite solid rocket propellants; bio diesel production; in medicine; in dye; application of carbon nano tubes and several other point of application are discussed here in detail.
