The catalytic potential of carbon nanotubes in organic synthesis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as promising materials in modern chemistry due to their unique structural, electronic, and surface properties. This paper explores the potential of CNTs as catalysts in various organic synthesis reactions, highlighting their role in green chemistry, their recyclability, and their catalytic efficiency compared to conventional catalysts. The study reviews recent advancements and proposes future directions for sustainable applications in synthetic organic chemistry.
