How Do Reaction Conditions Influence Catalytic Dynamics?
Reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and reactant concentration have a significant impact on catalytic dynamics. For instance, increasing the temperature generally increases the reaction rate but may also lead to catalyst deactivation through sintering or coking. Similarly, high pressures can enhance adsorption but may also cause structural changes in the catalyst. Optimizing these conditions is a balance between maximizing reaction rate and maintaining catalyst stability.
