Achieving sample homogeneity can be challenging but is essential for optimal catalytic performance. Here are some methods:
Proper Mixing: Ensuring thorough mixing of the catalyst with the substrate can help achieve uniform distribution. Characterization Techniques: Techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) can be used to verify homogeneity. Controlled Synthesis: Employing controlled synthesis methods such as sol-gel process or co-precipitation ensures better distribution of the catalytic components.
