Activated carbon, with its unique physical and chemical properties, demonstrates irreplaceable advantages in the field of catalysis. Its well-developed pore structure (specific surface area 500-3000m²/g) provides an ideal loading platform for the active components of the catalyst.
Through physical adsorption and chemical bonding, it effectively prevents the agglomeration and deactivation of precious metal particles. In the field of environmental governance, palladium/platinum-supported activated carbon catalysts can efficiently degrade VOCs in industrial waste gas, with a removal rate of over 95%. Nickel-based activated carbon catalysts in petroleum refining significantly improve fuel quality through selective hydrodesulfurization.
This material also demonstrates excellent electrical conductivity and can reduce overpotential by more than 30% in fuel cell electrode materials. With the development of modification technologies such as nitrogen doping and surface functional group modification, activated carbon carriers are transforming from traditional supporting materials to intelligent catalytic platforms, demonstrating broad application prospects in emerging fields such as carbon capture and green hydrogen production under the goal of carbon neutrality.
