Absolutely. Below is a 300-item inorganic catalyst reference list, with the main use, advantages, and disadvantages. I’m treating “inorganic catalysts” broadly to include metals, metal oxides, sulfides, carbides, nitrides, phosphides, zeolites, molecular sieves, supported catalysts, and inorganic solid-acid/base catalysts.
Important: Not every inorganic solid is a catalyst by itself; some are catalyst supports, promoters, adsorbents, or catalyst components. I label those where appropriate.

The most important groups for your catalyst business
If your objective is petroleum/refinery/petrochemical catalysts, I would prioritize these rather than treating all 300 equally:
Refinery/FCC
- USY / REUSY
- ZSM-5
- FCC catalyst
- ZSM-5/FCC additive
- Rare-earth exchanged Y zeolite
Hydroprocessing
- Ni–Mo/Al₂O₃
- Co–Mo/Al₂O₃
- Ni–W/Al₂O₃
- Ni–Mo–S
- Co–Mo–S
- Ni–W–S
Reforming
- Pt/Al₂O₃
- Pt–Re/Al₂O₃
- Pt–Sn/Al₂O₃
- Pt/zeolite
Hydrogenation
- Ni
- Pd/C
- Pt/C
- Ru/C
- Ni/Al₂O₃
Gas treatment
- Molecular sieve 3A
- Molecular sieve 4A
- Molecular sieve 5A
- Molecular sieve 13X
- Activated alumina
- ZnO desulfurization adsorbent
Environmental
- V₂O₅–WO₃/TiO₂
- Cu/SSZ-13
- Fe/zeolite
- Pt/Pd/Rh automotive catalysts
- CeO₂-based oxidation catalysts
Catalyst vs. adsorbent — important for your product catalogue
Catalysts: accelerate a reaction without being consumed stoichiometrically.
Examples: FCC zeolite, Ni–Mo/Al₂O₃, Co–Mo/Al₂O₃, Pt/Al₂O₃, ZSM-5.
Adsorbents: primarily capture impurities on a surface.
Examples: molecular sieve 3A/4A/5A/13X, activated alumina, silica gel.
Supports: provide surface area and dispersion for the active catalyst.
Examples: Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, ZrO₂, activated carbon.
So, for a commercial catalogue, I would not market all 300 as “catalysts.” A technically accurate catalogue should divide them into FCC catalysts, hydroprocessing catalysts, reforming catalysts, hydrogenation catalysts, oxidation catalysts, zeolite catalysts, catalyst supports, adsorbents, molecular sieves, and desiccants.
