The morphology, including the shape and size of catalyst particles, significantly affects performance:
1. Nanostructures: Catalysts at the nanoscale often show enhanced activity due to increased surface area and unique electronic properties. 2. Porosity: Porous materials can improve mass transport of reactants and products, leading to higher efficiency. 3. Shape Selectivity: Morphology can be tailored to favor specific reaction pathways or products.
