CVD synthesis of Cu-doped cobalt spinel thin film catalysts for kinetic study of propene oxidation

Techniques of Preparation of Thin Films: Catalytic Combustion

Over the past several decades, an increasing amount of attention has been given to catalytic combustion as an environmentally friendly process. However, major impediments to large-scale application still arise on the materials side. Here, we review catalytic combustion on thin film catalysts in view of highlighting some interesting features. Catalytic films open the way for new designs of structured catalysts and the construction of catalysts for catalytic combustion. A special place is occupied by materials in the form of very thin films that reveal catalytic activity for various chemical reactions. In this review, we demonstrate the high catalytic activity of thin film catalysts in these oxidation reactions.
