What Are Some Examples of Improved Catalytic Systems?
There are numerous examples of systems where improved catalytic performance has been achieved:
Heterogeneous Catalysts: Advances in the design of heterogeneous catalysts have led to significant improvements in the efficiency of processes such as the hydrogenation of alkenes and the oxidation of carbon monoxide. Homogeneous Catalysts: The development of new ligand systems in homogeneous catalysis has improved the selectivity and activity of catalysts used in fine chemical synthesis. Biocatalysts: Engineering enzymes to improve their stability and activity has led to more efficient processes in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
