How Can the Performance of Zirconia Catalysts Be Enhanced?
Various strategies can be used to enhance the performance of zirconia-based catalysts:
Doping: Introducing elements such as yttrium, cerium, or lanthanum can stabilize the desired phase and improve catalytic properties. Nanostructuring: Creating zirconia nanoparticles or nanocomposites can increase surface area and active site accessibility. Surface Functionalization: Tailoring the surface acidity or basicity by modifying surface groups can optimize catalytic activity.
