Recent advances in catalyst design have focused on:
1. Nanocatalysts: These catalysts have high surface areas and show unique catalytic properties. 2. Bimetallic Catalysts: Combining two metals can enhance activity and selectivity due to synergistic effects. 3. Zeolites: These microporous materials are used extensively in petrochemical industries due to their unique structure and high surface area. 4. Single-Atom Catalysts: These catalysts consist of isolated metal atoms dispersed on a support, offering high activity and selectivity.
