How do Catalyst Deactivation and Stability Affect Catalysis?
Catalyst deactivation is a significant constraint in catalysis. It can occur due to sintering, poisoning, fouling, or leaching of the active sites. Stability is crucial for the long-term use of a catalyst, and understanding the mechanisms of deactivation can help in designing more robust catalysts. Strategies to enhance stability include developing resistant materials and employing regeneration techniques.
