What are some strategies to overcome material limitations?
Several strategies are being employed to overcome material limitations in catalysis. These include:
1. Alloying: Combining different metals to enhance properties like thermal stability and mechanical strength. 2. Support Materials: Using support materials such as alumina, silica, and carbon to provide mechanical strength and enhance dispersion of active sites. 3. Core-Shell Structures: Designing catalysts with a core-shell structure to protect the active material while maintaining high activity. 4. Coatings: Applying protective coatings to improve chemical resistance and extend catalyst life. 5. Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Utilizing techniques like 3D printing to create complex structures with enhanced properties.
