What properties make hydroxyapatite (HAP) an effective catalyst carrier?

Label:chem

Topic
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is utilized as a support material in various catalytic reactions.
Answer
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a suitable catalyst carrier due to its acid-base properties, high stability, and the ease with which heterogeneous elements can be substituted within its structure. The phosphate in HAP can also alter the electronic environment of heterogeneous metals, promoting their high dispersion and enhancing catalyst stability through strong metal-support interactions.
