Lecture
This lecture covers the principles of catalyst synthesis through deposition and precipitation, focusing on adjusting pH, reducing solvated metals, and ligand removal. It explores applications, pros & cons, (co-)precipitation, nucleation, crystal growth, and various catalyst supports like zeolites and carbon. The lecture also delves into the advantages, limitations, and applications of zeolites, discussing their chemical structure, synthesis, and acidity. Additionally, it presents examples of carbon as a catalyst support, including carbon nanotubes and zeolites, and a case study on Fe-ZSM-5 for NOx reduction. The lecture concludes with a discussion on sol-gel based materials and perovskites.
