Review on methods to deposit catalysts on structured surfaces Review Article

The methods used to deposit a catalyst on structured surfaces are reviewed. Physical methods such as PVD and chemical methods (sol–gel, CVD, direct synthesis, etc.) are described. The coating of catalysts based on oxide, zeolite or carbon support is detailed on various surfaces such as silicon or steel microstructured reactors, cordierite monoliths or foams, fibres, tubes, etc.
