Nanotechnology and Catalysis Research Center
(NANOCAT) has been established since 2001
at University of 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 the industrial
partner such as Petronas, Hartalega, Oleon and
others. We have access to the latest analytical
equipment including filed emission scanning
electron microscopes, x-ray diffraction, BET
analysis, various spectroscopies, chemical
reactors and thermal analysis methods.

About NANOCAT
Scope of Research
NANOCAT (Nanotechnology and Catalysis Research centre) is a pTJ incorporated by UM in 2012, a UMCoE. Its mission is to be a world leader in “catalysis and nanotechnology” coining sustainability and green technology. NANOCAT research thrust is deploying catalysis to support energy, chemical synthesis, environment pollution and global warming mitigation as well as designing smart materials as catalyst, sensor, nanocoating, and nanocomposite.
NANOCAT was given a status of HICoE Potential in 2013, in catalysis. The Centre has strived to attain a national status for HiCOE (MOHE) as well as NanoCentre (NNC, MOSTI) with strong support and commitment from Universiti Malaya since. In the last 3 years, 2013 to 2016, it witnessed a pronounced explosion in its productivity in all aspects.
Research Projects
As a national research centre
focusing on nanotechnology
and catalysis, NANOCAT has
come out with a strategic plan-
ning in research grant appli-
cation. With that in mind, the
emphasis has been given to
five niche areas of NANOCAT
which are catalyst design, en-
ergy, chemical synthesis, and
environmental mitigation as
well as smart materials.

Postgraduate Students
NANOCAT is highly active in postgraduate supervision and research. These students, both from local and international, serve as important backbone to support the exponential growth of our centre’s research output. For a small number of academic staff of 10, NANOCAT takes pride to attract and supervise 79 postgraduate students (53 PhD and 26 MSc) where 11 of them successfully graduated in 2017 (6 PhD and 5 MPhil). 80% of them with CGPA > 3.0 are study in NANOCAT under various financial aids and scholarship. As a global choice of research centre of excellent, 31.6% of them are international postgraduate students. This is indeed an achievement as part of the effort to promote UM at international level.
Besides postgraduate student supervision, NANOCAT also provides industrial training to undergradu-ate students from University of Malaya and other local universities of the country. This is due to the center’s strong engagement with in-dustrial sector. NANOCAT is provid-ing Industrial Training to the students to gain practical knowledge through hands on training and observation. In 2017, we received 25 interns [Univer-sity of Malaya (13), University College of Tunku Abdul Rahman (4), Univer-sity of Nottingham Malaysia (3), Uni-versity Kuala Lumpur (2), Multimedia University (2) and UCSI University (1)] for training in our center.
