What are Some Recent Advances in Catalytic Material Development?
Recent advances in material development for catalysis include:
Nanomaterials: The use of nanoparticles and nanostructures has led to catalysts with higher surface area and unique properties that enhance catalytic performance. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): MOFs are porous materials with high surface area and tunable properties, making them suitable for a wide range of catalytic applications. Single-Atom Catalysts: These catalysts consist of isolated metal atoms dispersed on a support, offering high activity and selectivity with minimal use of precious metals. Biocatalysts: Enzymes and other biological molecules are increasingly used in catalysis due to their specificity and environmental friendliness.
