How is Additive Manufacturing Applied in Catalysis?
The integration of additive manufacturing in catalysis has opened up new avenues for designing and producing catalytic materials with optimized performance. By using 3D printing, researchers and industries can fabricate catalysts with precise control over their physical and chemical properties. One of the notable applications is the creation of structured catalysts. These are catalysts designed with specific geometries that optimize the flow of reactants and products, enhancing the overall efficiency of the catalytic process. Such structures are difficult to produce using conventional methods but can be easily realized with additive manufacturing.
