What are the Practical Applications of High Surface Area Catalysts?
High surface area catalysts are used in a variety of practical applications, including:
Environmental Catalysis: Catalysts for pollution control in automotive exhaust systems often use high surface area materials to maximize interaction with pollutants. Industrial Processes: Processes like the Haber-Bosch synthesis of ammonia and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons benefit from catalysts with high surface areas. Energy Production: Catalysts in fuel cells and batteries often use high surface area materials to enhance efficiency and performance.
