  With the increasing demand for optimization of energy storage, maintenance of the environment, and effective production, control on nanostructures of catalysts and optimization of their organization become key to achieving high efficiency and specificity in energy and material conversion systems. This book emphasizes and summarizes the novel design of soft matters (molecules, polymers, assembled motifs, etc.) for nanocatalysts or supports for nanocatalysts. The diversity or specialty of soft matters offers a new perspective and great promise for the development of new nanocatalytic systems for future requirements. Soft matters can provide a simple and well-defined space for the discovery of new catalysts. At present, no other book summarizes catalysts from soft matters.

  The book also covers nonmetallic organocatalysts, organometallic compounds, dendrimers, ionic liquids, enzymes, polymers, various organized nanoarchitectures for supporting catalysts and, molecular dynamics in catalytic surface reactions. This book will give readers a relatively complete image of catalysis systems with/by soft matters. It is a great reference for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and nanoscience and for researchers in polymer science, nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, and catalysis.
