Recent Advance Development of ALD in Designing Catalytic Materials for Hydrogen Production Processes
摘要
Nanotechnology plays a significant part in the ongoing research and development of catalytic materials for hydrogen production. Thus, the aims of this research is to increase the catalyst’s performance and to raise the catalyst’s intrinsic activity level and active site [1]. The research that has been done in this field has resulted in the development of various techniques for producing nanomaterials that can range anywhere from 1 to 100 nm in size. These include, for example, processes like sputter deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, electric arc deposition, and chemical vapor deposition [2]. Some processes are based on a chemical solution, such as hydrothermal synthesis, electrodeposition, sonochemical synthesis, and sol-gel processing. Wet chemistry fabrication processes can frequently be economically feasible at smaller scales because they generally do not require very complex instruments. This is because they produce less waste. Wet chemistry, on the other hand, might make it significantly more difficult to achieve precise control over the chemical composition of the catalyst and an evenly distributed coverage of 3D supports. This is due to the fact that wet chemistry typically involves the use of aqueous solutions.
