In this study, H-beta zeolite-supported iridium catalysts were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and characterized as such and after different activation treatments. A reference catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation. The samples were tested in decalin ring opening reaction. ALD samples were clearly more active and selective in decalin ring opening compared to impregnated sample. The differences observed in characteristics and activities between ALD samples and impregnated sample are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
