What Are Some Examples of High-Efficiency Catalysts?
Several catalysts have been developed that demonstrate high efficiency:
Zeolites: These microporous, aluminosilicate minerals are highly effective for a range of reactions, including cracking and petrochemical processes. Enzymes: Nature's own catalysts are incredibly efficient and specific for their respective biological reactions. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): These structures combine metal ions with organic linkers to create highly porous materials with extensive surface areas. Homogeneous Catalysts: These catalysts, which operate in the same phase as the reactants, can offer excellent selectivity and activity for specific reactions.
