Some of the key technologies in catalysis include:
Zeolites: Microporous, aluminosilicate minerals used as catalysts in petrochemical cracking. Enzymatic Catalysis: Utilizes enzymes to accelerate biochemical reactions, significant in pharmaceuticals. Nanocatalysts: Catalysts at the nanoscale that offer high surface area and unique reactivity. Photocatalysis: Utilizes light to drive chemical reactions, particularly important in environmental clean-up technologies. Electrocatalysis: Catalysts that enhance the rate of electrochemical reactions, critical in fuel cells and batteries.
