What are Some Examples of Catalysts Where Lattice Constants are Critical?
Several catalytic materials rely heavily on their lattice constants for optimal performance:
Zeolites: Their catalytic activity in hydrocarbon processing is influenced by their specific lattice parameters. Perovskites: Used in oxygen evolution reactions, where lattice constants affect their redox properties. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): The pore size and structure, governed by lattice constants, are crucial for applications in gas storage and separation.
