How Do Cylindrical Pores Influence Catalytic Activity?
Cylindrical pores can influence catalytic activity through several mechanisms:
Surface Area: The high surface area provided by cylindrical pores allows for more active sites, enhancing the rate of reaction. Diffusion: Uniform cylindrical pores can facilitate easier diffusion of reactants and products, reducing mass transfer limitations. Stability: The mechanical stability of cylindrical pores can help maintain the structural integrity of the catalyst under reaction conditions.
