Nanotechnology & Catalysis Research Centre (NANOCAT)

NANOCAT (Nanotechnology & Catalysis Research centre) is a Ptj incorporated by UM in 2012, a UMCoE. Its mission is to be a world leader in “Catalysis and Nanotechnology” coining sustainability and green technology. NANOCAT research thrust is deploying catalysis to support energy, chemical synthesis, environment pollution and global warming mitigation as well as designing smart materials such as catalyst, sensor, nanocoating, and nanocomposite. NANOCAT was given a status of potential HiCoE Potential in 2013, in catalysis. The Centre has strived to attain a national status for HiCOE (MOHE) as well as NanoCentre (NNC, MOSTI) with strong support and commitment from Universiti Malaya. In the last 3 years, it witnessed a pronounced explosion in its productivity in all aspects.
