How Can We Mitigate the Effects of Thermal Expansion?
Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the adverse effects of thermal expansion on catalysts:
Material Selection: Choosing materials with low CTE can minimize the impact of thermal expansion. Composite Materials: Combining materials with different thermal expansion properties can result in a composite with a balanced CTE. Thermal Cycling: Gradually heating and cooling the catalyst can help it adapt to thermal stresses without significant damage.
