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.

جامعة الملك سلمان الدولية - King Salman International University Muslim Communities World Network 

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.
