What are the new materials being explored in catalysis?
Recent advancements in catalysis have seen a surge in the exploration of new materials. One such material is metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are highly porous and offer a large surface area for catalytic reactions. Another promising material is nanoparticles, especially those made from noble metals like platinum and palladium, due to their high catalytic activity. Additionally, graphene-based catalysts are gaining attention for their high electrical conductivity and chemical stability.
