Oxidation reactions play a pivotal role in chemical synthesis. Its wide range

of industrial applications and processing, however, make use of corrosive chemicals

and harsh reaction conditions, which create threats to the ecosystem, environment, and

public health. Also, the traditional homogeneous catalysts used for this purpose get

easily deactivated. Heterogeneous catalysts with various supports have been developed

to achieve more environmentally benign conditions as well as to defeat other

disadvantages of homogeneous catalysts. Nanomaterials, due to their large surface

available to reactants and ease of separation, show promising applications in

heterogeneous catalysis and lead towards a greener way of synthesis. The current

chapter enlists the applications of nanocatalysts in the oxidation reactions of various

organic molecules.

Keywords: Composite/hybrid nanoparticles, Heterogeneous catalyst, Metaloxide, Nanomaterials, Oxidation.
