An electrocatalyst can be heterogeneous such as a platinized electrode. [1] Homogeneous electrocatalysts, which are soluble, assist in transferring electrons between the electrode and reactants, and/or facilitate an intermediate chemical transformation described by an overall half reaction. [2] Major challenges in electrocatalysts focus on fuel ...
Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e. color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...
Biocatalysts can be thought of as an intermediate between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, although strictly speaking soluble enzymes are homogeneous catalysts and membrane-bound enzymes are heterogeneous. Several factors affect the activity of enzymes (and other catalysts) including temperature, pH, the concentration of enzymes ...
The heteropolyacids are widely used as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, [9] particularly those based on the Keggin structure as they can possess qualities such as good thermal stability, high acidity and high oxidising ability. Some examples of catalysis are: [10] Homogeneous acid catalysis
The activity of heterogeneous catalysts in cross-coupling seems to be tied to the ability of the electrophile (usually an aryl halide) to undergo oxidative addition with an atom of Pd(0), whether on the solid catalyst surface or already in solution, after which the rest of the catalytic cycle will take place – in solution. Figure 1.
The activity of heterogeneous catalysts is mainly promoted by atoms present at the accessible surface of the material. Consequently, great effort is made to maximize the specific surface area of a catalyst. One popular method for increasing surface area involves distributing the catalyst over the surface of the support.
In heterogeneous electron transfer, an electron moves between a chemical species present in solution and the surface of a solid such as a semi-conducting material or an electrode. Theories addressing heterogeneous electron transfer have applications in electrochemistry and the design of solar cells .
The separation of homogeneous catalysts from products can be challenging. In some cases involving high activity catalysts, the catalyst is not removed from the product. In other cases, distillation can extract volatile organic products. Homogeneous catalysts have limited thermal stability compared to heterogeneous catalysts.
