What Types of Catalysts are Commonly Prepared Using Sol-Gel Methods?
A variety of catalysts can be prepared using sol-gel methods, including:
Metal Oxides: Catalysts such as TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 are commonly synthesized using sol-gel processes. Mixed Oxides: Complex oxides that incorporate multiple metals, such as perovskites, can also be prepared. Zeolites: The sol-gel process is used to synthesize zeolites with specific pore structures. Supported Catalysts: Active metal particles can be dispersed on supports like silica or alumina through sol-gel techniques.
