The synthesis of high performance catalysts involves several steps, including:
1. Precursor Selection: Choosing the appropriate raw materials. 2. Preparation: Techniques such as impregnation, co-precipitation, and sol-gel methods are used. 3. Activation: Thermal treatments to develop the active sites. 4. Characterization: Techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are used to analyze the properties.
