There are several types of catalysts used in redox reactions, including:
Metal Oxides: Often used in oxidation reactions. Examples include TiO₂, CeO₂, and V₂O₅. Metal Complexes: Transition metal complexes can catalyze both oxidation and reduction reactions. Enzymes: Biological catalysts like oxidoreductases are crucial in cellular redox processes. Heterogeneous Catalysts: Solid catalysts that facilitate reactions in a different phase than the reactants, such as platinum or palladium on a support material.
