The synthesis of novel catalytic materials often involves advanced techniques to control their composition, structure, and morphology. Common methods include:
- Sol-gel processes: Used to create porous materials with controlled pore sizes. - Chemical vapor deposition (CVD): Allows for the precise deposition of thin films and nanostructures. - Electrochemical deposition: Used to fabricate nanostructured catalysts with high surface areas. - Self-assembly techniques: Enable the formation of highly ordered structures at the nanoscale.
