Nanocatalysts enable coal to liquify and turn it into gas. The process uses a gel-based nanoscale catalyst, which improves the efficiency and reduces the cost and economically transform coal into diesel fuel and gasoline and at the same time, acid-rain pollution would be reduced because the liquefaction strips coal of harmful sulfur. Automotive catalyst has larger the surface area and is more active and open the way for numerous process innovations to make many chemical processes more efficient and resource-saving.
