Used as a solid support and scavenger in catalysis, especially for anchoring and removing metal catalysts (e.g., Cr, Pt, Pd²⁺, Pd⁰) in organic synthesis. The porous structure and functional amine groups enhance catalyst stability, reactivity, and metal chelation. Commonly applied in heterogeneous catalysis for reactions like hydrogenation, oxidation, and coupling reactions. Also utilized in separation processes due to its adsorption properties. Can be modified for use in drug delivery systems and sensors thanks to its high surface area and tunable surface chemistry.
