What Are Some Applications of Chemical Etching in Catalysis?
Chemical etching finds applications in various catalytic processes, including:
- Fuel Cells: Enhancing the surface area and active sites of catalysts used in fuel cells can improve their efficiency. - Heterogeneous Catalysis: Etching can be used to prepare and modify the surfaces of solid catalysts to enhance their activity and selectivity. - Sensor Development: Etched surfaces can be used in the development of catalytic sensors for detecting gases or other chemicals.
