Metal Catalysts for Oxidation (13)

Metal oxidation catalysts are catalysts containing metal oxides that are extensively applied in various chemical reactions, particularly in processes like catalytic oxidation, reduction, and cracking. These catalysts are typically made from transition metal oxides (e.g., titanium dioxide TiO₂, chromium dioxide Cr₂O₃, molybdenum oxide MoO₃, etc.) or rare earth metal oxides (e.g., cerium oxide CeO₂, lanthanum oxide La₂O₃, etc.). They play a crucial role in lowering the activation energy of reactions, enhancing reaction rates, and exhibiting excellent selectivity and stability.
