What Makes Perovskite-Based Materials Effective Catalysts?
Several factors contribute to the catalytic efficiency of perovskite-based materials:
1. Structural Versatility: The ability to substitute various cations in the A and B sites provides a rich playground to optimize the catalytic properties. 2. Electronic Properties: The mixed valence states and strong covalency of the B-X bond enhance catalytic activity. 3. Surface Area and Porosity: High surface area and porosity improve the interaction between the reactants and the catalyst surface. 4. Thermal Stability: High thermal stability ensures durability under reaction conditions.
