Metal/Mixed Metal Oxides and their Applications as Catalyst: A Review

Metal/Mixed metal oxides have high surface area and more reactive sites. Surface area of the oxides depends on the mode of synthesis. Because of these properties metal oxides/mixed metal oxides have wide applications such as catalyst and adsorbents. Metal oxides also work as superconductors and semiconductors as they are conducting in nature. Metal oxides are being used in cosmetics as antifungal agents and also have large applications in medicines. One of the most attentive applications of metal/mixed metal oxides is as catalyst because of more reactive sites. This review article is focused on their applications as catalyst in various organic reactions.
