What are the Breakthroughs in Heterogeneous Catalysis?
Heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants, continues to be a major area of research. Recent breakthroughs include the development of highly active and stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and zeolites as catalysts.
Researchers are also exploring the use of bimetallic catalysts to achieve synergistic effects that enhance catalytic performance. Additionally, advances in catalyst characterization techniques, such as in situ spectroscopy and electron microscopy, are providing deeper insights into the structure and function of heterogeneous catalysts.
