A Brief Overview of Recent Progress in Porous Silica as Catalyst Supports

Porous silica particles have shown applications in various technological fields including their use as catalyst supports heterogeneous catalysis. The mesoporous ordered porosity, high surface area, and good chemical stability. These interesting structural or textural properties make porous an attractive material for catalysis reactions. colloidal nature of the is highly useful catalytic it guarantees better mass transfer uniform distribution metal oxide nanocatalysts solution. catalysts show activity, low degree leaching, ease recycling when supported immobilized on silica-based materials. In this overview, we pointed out importance supports. A variety reactions catalyzed by different loaded embedded are studied. latest reports from literature about materials listed analyzed. new continued trends discussed with examples.
