What Are Some Applications of Dislocations in Catalysis?
Dislocations find applications in various catalytic processes, including:
Heterogeneous Catalysis: Dislocations in metal catalysts (e.g., platinum, palladium) can enhance reactions such as hydrogenation and oxidation. Electrocatalysis: Dislocations in materials used for fuel cells and electrolyzers can improve their performance. Photocatalysis: Dislocations in semiconductor materials can enhance their ability to harness solar energy for chemical reactions.
