What are Some Examples of Nanostructured Ceramics Used in Catalysis?
There are several types of nanostructured ceramics that are commonly used in catalytic applications:
Titanium dioxide (TiO2): Widely used in photocatalysis and environmental applications such as water purification and air cleaning. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2): Known for its high thermal stability and used in various catalytic reactions, including hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes. Alumina (Al2O3): Commonly used as a support material for other catalysts due to its high surface area and thermal stability. Silicon carbide (SiC): Used in high-temperature applications such as the reforming of hydrocarbons and the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
