Note: These nanoreactors  are selective. This means that they are able to distinguish between different molecules and only allow certain molecules  to enter their internal cavity. In addition to selectivity, cells are also sensitive by having pores in the membrane that open and close with external stimuli  such as pH changes.

Selectivity and sensitivity  are characteristics of all natural nanoreactors and are used in the production of nanosensors.

Nanoreactors are very diverse. Simple or complex, organic and inorganic materials with electrical conductivity, volume and pore structures are used as nanoreactors.  Unlike microreactors, the reaction space inside nanoreactors greatly affects the mobility and interactions between molecules within it.

Therefore, a nanoreactor is not just a simple container and  plays an important role in the electrochemical process. Nanoreactors are relatively new materials, but in nature, various processes have been using nanoreactors for a long time. Carrying out electrochemical reactions in confined spaces with nanometer dimensions and micrometer volumes leads to changes in the kinetics and path of the entire  process. Such confined spaces used to carry out specific electrochemical reactions  are called nanoreactors. Nanoreactors are very small containers with nanometer dimensions that have great potential for improving electrochemical conversions by protecting catalysts from  environmental effects and confining reactants and catalysts in a small space for a long time  . In fact, nanoreactors are porous materials with one of their dimensions in the nanoscale. 

Conclusion: 

One of the catalytic systems is nanoreactors. One of the applications of nanoreactors is in the electronic conduction of porous materials whose dimensions are smaller than  0.11 nanometers.
