Advanced nanomaterials and magnetic nanomaterials have gained considerable popularity among the chemists as they can be used in a variety of catalytic processes and benign organic transformations. The nanocatalysts described would include magnetic-supported nanocatalysts, graphene supported nanocatalysts, core-shell (Pd@Pt) catalysts and morphology-dependent iron oxides. Advanced nanotechnology improvements over the years have allowed important and unique series of advances in the evolvement of benign heterogeneous nanocatalysts. Notably, nanomaterials for catalysis can now be designed and synthesized with need for specific catalytic applications. Core-shell nanocatalysts, morphology- dependent iron oxide and metal supported nanoparticles can be prepared via more sustainable pathways with unique structure, morphology and composition. Our recent research activity on the use of nanomaterials/nanocatalyst and its catalytic applications will be highlighted. Gawande et al.
