Il n'existe qu'un petit nombre de catalyseurs capables d'effectuer dans des conditions optimales une réaction donnée. Le catalyseur réel adapté à un procédé particulier est le plus souvent un solide complexe. Il comporte une phase active qui, pour développer une surface maximale, est déposée sur un support, parfois à dose très faible s'il s'agit d'éléments coûteux comme les métaux précieux. Cependant, certains catalyseurs dits massiques sont uniquement constitués de phase(s) active(s) [...] [que l'on peut classer en trois grandes familles] : les métaux; les semi-conducteurs, oxydes, sulfures ou autres ions supportés; les oxydes isolants, acides ou basiques. 4, record 1, French, - catalyseur
