Unprotected metal nanoparticles suffer from irreversible agglomeration, catalyst poisoning, and limited life cycle. To circumvent these technical disadvantages, catalysts are frequently spread on chemically inert materials like as mesoporous Al2O3, ZrO2, and different types of ceramic material. In this research, plentiful bauxite residue is used to create a low-cost alternative catalytic material.
