Active Site Distribution: In crystalline catalysts, the active sites are often well-defined and uniformly distributed, leading to more predictable catalytic behavior. Surface Area: Crystalline materials typically have lower surface areas compared to amorphous materials, which can reduce the number of accessible active sites. Stability: Crystalline catalysts are generally more thermally and chemically stable, making them suitable for high-temperature reactions. Diffusion: The ordered structure can either facilitate or hinder the diffusion of reactants and products, depending on the pore structure and size.
