Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.54DP
You want to use a material that can be used for making a catalytic converter substrate. The job of this material is to be a carrier for the nanoparticles of metals (such as platinum and palladium), which are the actual catalysts. The main considerations are that this catalyst-support material must be able to withstand the constant, cyclic heating and cooling to which it will be exposed. (Note: The gases from automobile exhaust reach temperatures up to 500°C, and the material will get heated up to high temperatures and then cool down when the car is not being used.) What kinds of materials can be used for this application?
