Catalyst Support

Greater Catalytic efficiency through increased accessible surface

GoNano Technologies utilizes proprietary high surface area nanomaterials with 100% accessibility as a catalyst platform. The base material is a mat of Silica Nanosprings^TM that can be coated with a wide range of oxides and/or metallic nanoparticles to suit a broad range of heterogeneous catalyst-mediated processes. The surface area and accessibility attributes of the Nanosprings^TM result in significantly lower precious metal loading and greater catalytic efficiency. Nanosprings can be readily functionalized with organic molecules that act as scaffolding for homogeneous catalysts.

Technological Features

GoNano technologies’ Catalyst technology offers a number of distinct advantages

• Smaller footprint and High Performance – Greater catalytic efficiency potentially reduces the size of the reactor
• Prevent PGM sintering – Nanospring surface inhibits sintering of the PGM catalyts creating efficient use of catalyst
• Flexibility - Process capable of Nanosprings growth and application of coatings on different substrates, 2D and 3D
• Green - Non-toxic, non-harmful byproducts, and reduced the losses of precious catalytic material
