About This Topic
Bimetallic and trimetallic catalysts, composed of two or three different metal elements respectively, offer unique catalytic properties that surpass those of their monometallic counterparts. Their synergistic effects lead to enhanced activity, selectivity, and stability in various chemical reactions. This topic explores the broad and growing range of applications of these catalysts in fields such as environmental remediation, energy conversion, and industrial chemical synthesis. In environmental science, they are crucial for emission control, wastewater treatment, and pollutant degradation. In energy-related applications, they play a vital role in fuel cells, hydrogen production, and CO2 reduction. Additionally, in petrochemical and fine chemical industries, these catalysts are employed in processes like hydrocracking, reforming, and selective oxidation. This topic will also address the design strategies, structural characteristics, and mechanisms that contribute to their improved performance. Understanding the role of metal interactions and support materials is essential for advancing catalytic technologies.
