What are Some Examples of Enhanced Activity in Catalysts?
1. Platinum-Based Catalysts: Used in fuel cells and automotive catalytic converters, platinum catalysts have seen enhanced activity through alloying with metals like ruthenium or cobalt. 2. Zeolites: These microporous materials are used in petrochemical refining. Enhanced activity is achieved by optimizing the acidity and pore structure. 3. Enzyme Catalysts: In biotechnology, enzymes are often immobilized on support materials or genetically modified to improve their catalytic efficiency.
