What Types of Ceramic Materials are Commonly Used?
Several types of ceramic materials are frequently used in catalysis:
- Alumina (AlâOâ): Known for its high surface area and thermal stability. - Silica (SiOâ): Widely used due to its inertness and ability to form various structures. - Titania (TiOâ): Used in photocatalysis and as a support for metal catalysts. - Zirconia (ZrOâ): Provides high thermal stability and resistance to sintering. - Mixed Oxides: Combinations of different oxides to tailor specific properties.
