A gold catalyst from Nanostellar has been named as one of the most innovative products of 2007 by industry experts.

Editors of R&D Magazine and Micro/Nano Newsletter recognised Nanostellar's use of gold as an oxidation catalyst in their annual Micro/Nano 25 Awards.

Nanostellar introduced NS Gold, a diesel emissions control material determined to be 15-20 per cent better than its first-generation platinum and palladium alloy catalyst, in April.

"This award provides further validation of what our customers are experiencing and independent labs have proven: that our NS Gold product is poised to make a profound impact on the automotive industry as manufacturers use our product to meet emissions-control compliance regulations more efficiently than ever before," said Pankaj Dhingra, chief executive officer of Nanostellar.

He added that consumers now expect cleaner air and more fuel-efficient methods of transportation.

According to Nanostellar, in order to comply with demand, the introduction of more clean-diesel vehicles in the coming three to five years will require high performing cost-effective catalyst materials like NS Gold.
