How Does the MFI Framework Enhance Catalytic Performance?
The MFI framework enhances catalytic performance through several mechanisms:
Confinement Effect: The confined space within the pores of the MFI framework can lead to increased reaction rates and selectivity by stabilizing transition states and intermediates. Acidic Sites: The presence of Brønsted and Lewis acidic sites within the MFI structure can promote proton transfer and other acid-catalyzed reactions. Surface Area: The high surface area facilitates a greater number of interactions between the catalyst and reactant molecules, thereby increasing the overall reaction rate.
