What are Some Examples of Cost-effective Catalysts?
Iron-based Catalysts: These are used in processes like the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and ammonia production, offering a cheaper alternative to traditional noble metal catalysts. Carbon-based Catalysts: Graphene and other carbon materials are being explored for their catalytic properties, especially in oxygen reduction reactions for fuel cells. Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs): These are versatile materials that can be tailored for specific reactions, often using inexpensive metal centers and organic linkers.
