How is the Efficiency of Platinum Catalysts Being Enhanced?
To address the challenges associated with platinum catalysts, researchers are exploring various strategies to enhance their efficiency and reduce costs. One approach is the development of alloys and composites that combine platinum with other metals, thus reducing the amount of platinum needed without compromising catalytic performance. Another strategy involves optimizing the morphology of platinum catalysts, such as creating nanoparticles or nanowires, which increase the surface area available for reactions. Additionally, advancements in support materials can improve the stability and dispersion of platinum catalysts, further enhancing their performance.
