Material science for the support design: a powerful challenge for catalysis

Abstract

The use of heterogeneous catalytic systems for the development of low environmental impact processes has led to an enlargement of studies in this field, especially in order to optimize the selectivity of the reactions. This contribution aims to provide an overview of the role of the supporting materials in determining the activity/selectivity of the catalytic material and to highlight the perspective possibilities of modifying the surface or bulk properties of the support in order to optimize the catalytic performances.
