What are Some Recent Advances in Catalytic Material Design?
Several recent advances have shown promise in the design of new catalytic materials:
1. Single-atom Catalysts: These catalysts feature isolated metal atoms dispersed on a support, which can offer high activity and selectivity. 2. Porous Materials: Materials such as MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) and COFs (Covalent Organic Frameworks) provide a high surface area and tunable environments for catalytic reactions. 3. Bio-inspired Catalysts: Mimicking the active sites of enzymes, these catalysts aim to combine the efficiency of biological systems with the robustness of synthetic materials.
