The development of robust and durable catalysts involves several strategies:
Material selection: Choosing materials with inherent stability, such as refractory oxides or carbides, can enhance robustness. Support engineering: Using stable supports like alumina or silica can improve mechanical and thermal stability. Promoters and stabilizers: Adding elements that enhance stability and resistance to poisoning, such as cerium in three-way catalysts. Nanostructuring: Designing catalysts at the nanoscale to optimize active site exposure while minimizing sintering.
