What are Some Examples of Catalysts with Specific Crystal Structures?
Several catalysts with specific crystal structures are widely studied for their enhanced catalytic properties:
Zeolites: These microporous aluminosilicates have well-defined crystal structures that provide shape-selective catalytic properties. Perovskites: Oxides with the general formula ABO3, known for their versatility and stability in various catalytic reactions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): These are crystalline materials with tunable pore sizes and catalytic sites. Nanoparticles: Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles with controlled crystal facets exhibit high catalytic activity due to their large surface area and active sites.
