“…The inert substrates have various shapes such as tubes, [1][2][3] plates, [4][5][6] honeycombs, [7][8][9] and foams, [5,[10][11][12] among others. In addition, the coating methods used to deposit thin films on substrates, such as washcoating, [8,13,14] sol-gel deposition, [2,15,16] electrophoretic deposition, [17,18] chemical vapour deposition (CVD), [5,19,20] powder plasma spraying, [21][22][23] and physical vapour deposition (PVD), [24][25][26] among others, are diverse. The most used coating materials are metallic oxides like Al 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 modified with La 2 O 3 or CeO 2 , ZnO, TiO 2 , CuO, SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , and other materials.…”
