Abstract
Green chemistry has always been a lively research field. In the time period, the emphasis of catalysis research has significantly shifted and spread from traditional applications in green chemistry. This chapter gives an introduction to overall theme of green chemistry and catalysis emphasizing the concepts such as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, preparation and characterization of catalysts. Readers will find coverage of some important types of green catalysts namely nanocatalysts and perovskite type catalysts with an emphasis on their preparation and characterization. The section on catalyst preparation is concerned with the preparation of bulk catalysts and supported catalysts, with an emphasis on general principles. For the supported catalysts the relation between the method of preparation and the surface chemistry of the support is highlighted. The section on catalyst characterization summarizes the most common techniques in four subtitles: Structural Analysis, Thermal Analysis, Spectroscopic Techniques and Microscopic Techniques.
