Abstract
A catalyst composition is provided that includes a catalytic metal secured to a substrate, and the substrate is mesoporous and has pores that are templated. A catalyst composition includes a catalytic metal secured to a mesoporous substrate. The mesoporous substrate is a reaction product of a reactive solution, a solvent, a modifier, and a templating agent. A method includes reacting a reactive solution and a templating agent to form a gel; and calcining the gel to form a substrate having a mesoporous template that is capable to support a catalyst composition.
Claims12
A method of producing a catalyst composition comprising:
- mixing a reactive solution comprising a substrate precursor with a templating agent to form a gel;
- and calcining the gel to form a porous substrate,
- wherein a catalytic material or precursor thereof is present in at least one of the reactive solution or the gel and wherein the templating agent affects one or more of pore size, pore distribution, pore spacing, or pore dispersity of the porous substrate formed by the calcining of the gel.
