How Does Bulk Migration Affect Catalytic Activity?
The efficiency of a catalyst often depends on the ability of reactants and products to migrate through the material. Bulk diffusion can influence the rate-determining step in catalytic processes, especially in porous materials like zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). If bulk migration is slow, it can lead to a decrease in the overall catalytic activity as reactants may not reach active sites or products may not exit efficiently.
