Modifications can have a profound impact on various aspects of catalyst performance, including:
- Activity: Modifications can increase the number of active sites or their accessibility, enhancing the overall reaction rate. - Selectivity: Tailoring the catalyst to favor the formation of desired products while minimizing unwanted by-products. - Stability: Enhancing the resistance to deactivation mechanisms like sintering, coking, or poisoning.
By fine-tuning these properties, catalysts can be optimized for specific reactions, leading to more efficient and sustainable processes.
