The design of heterogeneous catalysts by industrial methods is limited to simple shapes. Therefore, this work investigates the additive manufacturing of catalysts by two different extrusion-based technologies. It contains a comparison of the processing of catalyst supports, a hydrogenation-active precursor and a calcined catalyst via formation of thermoplastic composites or via highly-filled pastes. Furthermore, aspects like rheology, thermal post-treatment and intrinsic catalytic activity are investigated.
