How Can the Cost of Precious Metal Catalysts Be Reduced?
Several strategies are being explored to reduce the cost of precious metal catalysts:
Alloying: Combining precious metals with less expensive metals to maintain catalytic activity while reducing cost. Nanotechnology: Using nanoscale particles to maximize surface area and catalytic efficiency, thus requiring less material. Recycling: Recovering and reusing precious metals from spent catalysts. Support Materials: Dispersing precious metals on high-surface-area supports to enhance their effectiveness.
