      abstract = {This book describes a detailed multi-scale approach  integrating nano- (active site), meso- (porous catalyst  architecture) and macroscale (reactor) efforts, to address  the challenges of producing a better epoxidation catalyst.  It contains an in-depth study of the design and synthesis  of gold nanoparticles and their application as a catalyst  for direct gas phase propylene epoxidation. "Direct" means  using only hydrogen and oxygen in one step, which is key  for sustainable manufacturing, as opposed to  commercialised, more complex production routes requiring  multiple steps, or integration with another chemical plant.  The insights gained can be used for rational design for  stable and selective catalysts for other reactions. It also  details the step-by-step process to build an epoxidation  reactor system with a focus on safety aspects, which can be  used as a guidebook for undergraduate and graduate students  in chemical engineering. Beyond heterogeneous catalysis,  the new, easily accomplished methodology for synthesising  atomically precise nanoparticles is shown to be relevant to  electrocatalysis and to healthcare applications, such as  anti-microbial surfaces. This book will be of interest to  researchers, engineers and experts in the related areas of  chemical engineering, chemistry, material science and  electrochemistry.},
