Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the effects of thermal sintering:
Thermal Stabilizers: Additives like ceria or zirconia can improve the thermal stability of catalysts. Optimized Support Materials: Using supports with high thermal stability and strong metal-support interactions can reduce sintering. Controlled Atmosphere: Maintaining an inert or reducing atmosphere can help in minimizing sintering. Nanostructuring: Designing catalysts at the nanoscale can enhance resistance to sintering.
