What are Some Examples of Multifunctional Catalysts?
Several types of multifunctional catalysts have been developed, including:
Bifunctional Catalysts: These catalysts have two different active sites, such as a metal and an acid/base site, that work in tandem. Heterogeneous Catalysts: These solid catalysts can possess multiple active sites on their surface, enabling various transformations. Homogeneous Catalysts: These catalysts operate in the same phase as the reactants and can incorporate multiple functionalities within a single molecule.
