Templating methods significantly impact the physical and chemical properties of catalysts. Here are some key aspects:
- Surface Area: Templates help in creating high surface area materials, which are crucial for catalytic activity as they provide more active sites for the reaction. - Pore Size and Distribution: Control over pore size and distribution is essential for catalytic efficiency, particularly in reactions involving bulky molecules. - Morphology: The shape and structure of the catalyst particles can be tailored to enhance specific catalytic properties, such as selectivity and stability.
