How Does Structure Relate to Catalyst Deactivation?
Catalyst deactivation is often related to structural changes such as the loss of active sites, the agglomeration of nanoparticles, or the formation of coke deposits. By understanding the structural reasons behind deactivation, strategies can be developed to enhance catalyst stability and longevity. For example, designing catalysts with stable supports or incorporating additives that prevent sintering can mitigate deactivation.
