The choice of dopant metal depends on the desired catalytic properties and the specific reaction of interest. Commonly used dopant metals include:
1. Platinum (Pt): Often used due to its high catalytic activity. 2. Palladium (Pd): Known for its versatility in various reactions. 3. Ruthenium (Ru): Effective in hydrogenation reactions. 4. Nickel (Ni): Widely used for its cost-effectiveness and good catalytic properties.
