The application methods for catalytic coatings vary depending on the material and the intended use. Common techniques include:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method involves the deposition of a thin film of catalyst material onto a substrate through the chemical reaction of vapor-phase precursors. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Similar to CVD, PVD involves the physical transfer of material from a source to the substrate in a vacuum environment. Sol-Gel Process: This involves the transition of a solution into a solid gel phase, which can then be applied as a coating. Electrodeposition: This electrochemical process deposits a material onto a conductive surface by reducing metal cations in a solution.
