How Do Non-Precious Metal Catalysts Perform Compared to Precious Metal Catalysts?
While non-precious metal catalysts are generally less active and selective than precious metals, advances in catalyst design and synthesis are closing the gap. Techniques such as alloying, doping, and creating nanoscale structures can enhance the performance of non-precious metal catalysts. For example, nickel-doped catalysts have shown improved activity and selectivity in various applications.
