What are the Types of Catalysts Based on Conductivity?
Catalysts can be broadly categorized based on their electrical conductivity into:
Metal Catalysts: These are typically good conductors of electricity and are used in various catalytic processes, including hydrogenation reactions and fuel cells. Semiconductor Catalysts: These have moderate conductivity and are often used in photocatalysis and other light-driven reactions. Insulating Catalysts: These have very low conductivity and are typically used in processes where electrical insulation is beneficial.
