How is the Performance of Silver Catalysts Enhanced?
Researchers employ various strategies to enhance the performance of silver catalysts:
1. Support Materials: Silver is often dispersed on support materials such as alumina, silica, or zeolites to increase its surface area and stability. 2. Promoters: Adding promoters, such as alkali metals, can improve the activity and selectivity of silver catalysts. 3. Nanostructuring: Creating nanoscale silver particles can enhance catalytic properties due to the increased surface area and altered electronic structure.
