Jose M Palomo – författare

Iron Catalysis: Design and Applications is an exciting new book that takes readers inside the world of iron catalysis guided by international catalysis expert, Dr Jose M Palomo. Iron is the most abundant metal in the planet, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, with an easily manipulated remediation process. In the last few years the use of this nonprecious metal has gained extraordinary attention particularly for its potential as a catalyst in different areas. This book compiles a series of chapters describing the most significant advances in the last few years since the design of different iron catalysts and nanocatalysts and iron-containing artificial and natural enzymes. The chapters also cover its application in different areas of interest such as organic synthesis, environmental remediation, enzyme-like activities or the creation of novel types of electrodes for battery design.

The book will be focused on the new advances in the design, preparation and application of different hybrid catalysts such as artificial metalloenzymes. The different chapters will cover different important aspect such as computational tools, preparation of artificial enzymes by using noncanonical aminoacids, nanobiocatalysts, protein-cages, enzyme-polymer conjugates, enzyme-metal nanoparticles hybrids as enzyme mimics, or hybrid systems with applications as antimicrobial agents.
