What Are the Applications of Nanostructured Alloys in Catalysis?
Nanostructured alloys find applications in various catalytic processes:
1. Hydrogen Production: These alloys are used as catalysts in water splitting and steam reforming processes to produce hydrogen. 2. Fuel Cells: Nanostructured alloy catalysts are crucial for the efficient operation of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). 3. Environmental Catalysis: They are used in the catalytic reduction of pollutants and in wastewater treatment. 4. Chemical Synthesis: Nanostructured alloys are employed in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
