Grafting can significantly affect the performance of a catalyst in various ways:
Activity: Grafting can increase the number of active sites or enhance the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. Selectivity: By modifying the surface, the catalyst can become more selective for certain reactions. Stability: Grafting can improve the thermal and chemical stability of the catalyst, prolonging its lifespan. Reusability: Enhanced stability often leads to better reusability in industrial processes.
