What are Some Examples of Self-Cleaning Catalysts?
One notable example is the use of platinum-based catalysts in automotive catalytic converters, which are designed to oxidize carbon deposits at lower temperatures. Another example is the incorporation of photocatalytic materials like titanium dioxide (TiO₂), which can degrade organic contaminants upon exposure to light. Researchers are also exploring the use of bimetallic catalysts that combine different metals to enhance self-cleaning properties.
