 Welcome to the Universiti Malaya’s Nanotechnology and Catalysis Research Centre (NANOCAT).

 
       Nanotechnology and Catalysis Research Center (NANOCAT) has been established since 2001 at the Universiti Malaya as a specialized centre of excellence (COE) in nanotechnology and catalysis. Our vision is to be an internationally renowned and recognised CoE in Catalysis and Nanomaterials.
NANOCAT offers students, researchers, and academics a wonderful place to study and research. It is highly interdisciplinary in that chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers all work together to create amazing new materials with remarkable properties and to develop devices that change the way we live. They are also encouraged to carry out their individual scientific research, resulting in publications in the best journals. 
      NANOCAT also has strong collaboration with industrial partners such as Petronas, Hartalega, Oleon, and others. We have access to the latest analytical equipment, including field emission scanning electron microscopes, x-ray diffraction, BET analysis, various spectroscopies, chemical reactors, and thermal analysis methods."
