There are multiple methods to load metal onto a support material:
1. Impregnation: This involves soaking the support material in a metal precursor solution, followed by drying and calcination. 2. Co-precipitation: Metal salts and support precursors are co-precipitated from a solution, leading to a uniform distribution of metal. 3. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Metal is deposited onto the support material in the form of a thin film. 4. Ion Exchange: Metal ions are exchanged with ions present on the support material, often used for zeolites and other ion-exchange materials.
