Several types of materials have been developed to enhance catalytic performance. Among them are:
- Nanomaterials: These include nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanosheets. Their high surface area-to-volume ratio makes them excellent catalysts. - Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): These are porous materials composed of metal ions coordinated to organic ligands, providing large surface areas and tunable properties. - Zeolites: Microporous, aluminosilicate minerals that are widely used as commercial catalysts because of their high surface area and strong acidity. - Perovskites: A class of materials with a specific crystal structure, known for their versatility in catalytic applications, particularly in energy-related processes.
