Catalyst synthesis is a crucial aspect of catalysis science, involving the preparation and development of materials that accelerate chemical reactions without undergoing permanent changes themselves. The process typically begins with the selection of appropriate precursor materials often metals, metal oxides, or organometallic compounds based on the intended application and reaction environment. Various synthesis methods such as precipitation, sol-gel processing, hydrothermal synthesis, impregnation, and co-precipitation are commonly employed to ensure precise control over particle size, surface area, porosity, and active site distribution. These physical and chemical properties greatly influence the catalyst's performance, stability, and selectivity. Advanced techniques like atomic layer deposition and microwave-assisted synthesis are also gaining traction for producing highly uniform and active catalytic structures.
