How Does the Sol-Gel Process Impact the Performance of Catalysts?
The sol-gel process impacts catalyst performance in several ways:
Surface Area: High surface areas can be achieved, which enhances the availability of active sites. Porosity: Tailored porosity ensures optimal diffusion of reactants and products. Thermal and Mechanical Stability: Improved stability extends the lifespan of the catalyst. Activity and Selectivity: The uniform distribution of active sites contributes to higher activity and selectivity.
