What Are Some Examples of Innovative Catalytic Materials?
Some notable examples include:
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): Highly porous materials that can be tailored for specific reactions by modifying their metal nodes and organic linkers. Zeolites: Microporous, aluminosilicate minerals widely used in petrochemical cracking, ion exchange, and as catalysts in various organic syntheses. Single-atom catalysts: Materials in which individual metal atoms are dispersed on a support, providing maximum utilization of the active metal sites. Graphene-based materials: These include graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, which offer high surface area and electrical conductivity for catalytic processes. Perovskites: Complex oxides that can be engineered to exhibit various catalytic properties, especially in energy-related applications.
