What are the Applications of Heat Generation in Catalysis?
Heat generation in catalysis has several practical applications:
Hydrogen Production: Exothermic reactions, such as steam reforming of methane, are used for large-scale hydrogen production. Energy Storage: Heat generated in catalytic processes can be utilized for energy storage and conversion systems, such as thermochemical storage. Environmental Applications: Catalytic converters in automobiles use exothermic reactions to reduce harmful emissions.
