Opportunities for Tailoring Catalytic Properties Through Metal-Support Interactions

Abstract

The oxides used as supports for metal catalysts can be used to modify the catalyst properties. In this paper, we discuss three relatively new ways for optimizing the oxide–metal interactions and show examples where these methods have been used to improve catalytic performance. Opportunities still exist for using each of these approaches to produce materials with improved catalytic performance.
