Electrochemical catalysts can be broadly categorized into several types:
Homogeneous Catalysts: These are molecular catalysts that are dissolved in the electrolyte. They offer high selectivity and tunability but may suffer from stability issues. Heterogeneous Catalysts: These catalysts are typically solid materials that provide active sites on their surfaces. They are generally more stable and easier to separate from the reaction mixture. Enzymatic Catalysts: Enzymes can also be used as catalysts in electrochemical reactions, offering high specificity and operating under mild conditions.
