Nanoreactors consist of catalytic nanoparticles that are enclosed by a porous shell. It is essentially a lab-scale reactor scaled down orders of magnitude. This allows for precise control over the supply of reactants through the shell (transport) and the reaction kinetics over the catalytic nanoparticles on the inside of the shell. In this work, it was found that when transport and reaction rate are matched, nanoreactors perform better than conventional catalytic materials.
