| 20120004093 | HETEROGENEOUS CATALYST - A catalyst is provided, where the catalyst has an active surface that includes at least one nodular-structured (particulate) catalyst layer disposed on a support substrate, where the nodular-structured catalyst layer partially coats a surface of the support substrate. The invention further includes a fabrication method of the catalyst. The method includes depositing a catalyst precursor coating on a support substrate by heating a catalyst precursor solution on the support substrate, and further heating the catalyst precursor-coated substrate until a nodular-structured (particulate) catalyst is formed, where the nodular-structured catalyst layer partially coats a surface of the support substrate. | 01-05-2012 |
