Colloidal catalysts have a broad range of applications:
Hydrogenation reactions: Colloidal metal nanoparticles are widely used in hydrogenation of organic compounds. Photocatalysis: Semiconductor nanoparticles, like TiO2, are employed in photocatalytic water splitting and pollutant degradation. Electrocatalysis: Colloidal catalysts are crucial in fuel cells and electrochemical sensors. CO2 reduction: Catalysts for CO2 conversion to fuels and chemicals often utilize colloidal methods to optimize activity and selectivity.
