Catalysis plays a crucial role in air purification systems by accelerating chemical reactions that break down pollutants into less harmful substances. It involves the use of a catalyst, which is a material that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the process. Catalysts can be used in various forms, including solid, liquid, and gas, to target a wide range of contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter.
