Which Catalysts are Used in Sustainable Fuel Production?
Various types of catalysts are employed, including:
Heterogeneous Catalysts: These are solid catalysts that facilitate reactions on their surface. Common examples include metal oxides and zeolites. Homogeneous Catalysts: These are soluble in the reaction medium and often involve transition metals like palladium, platinum, and rhodium. Biocatalysts: Enzymes that catalyze reactions under mild conditions, often used in biofuel production.
