Interpreting data involves understanding how the measured properties relate to catalytic performance. For example:
- A high surface area often correlates with higher catalytic activity as more active sites are available. - Particle size affects diffusion rates and reaction kinetics; smaller particles usually provide higher surface area-to-volume ratios. - Chemical composition and phase information help in understanding the nature of active sites and their stability. - Thermal stability data can predict how a catalyst will perform under operational conditions.
