What advancements are being made in heterogeneous catalysis?
Heterogeneous catalysis involves catalysts that exist in a different phase than the reactants, typically solid catalysts in contact with liquid or gas reactants. Recent developments focus on the design of porous materials, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tailored pore structures and functionalities. These advancements aim to improve the accessibility of active sites and enhance the overall efficiency of the catalytic process.
