What affects the stability of nanoparticles in catalysis?
Several factors can affect the stability of nanoparticles in catalysis:
Particle Size: Smaller nanoparticles have a higher surface energy and are more prone to aggregation and sintering. Surface Chemistry: The presence of surfactants or stabilizing agents can prevent agglomeration. Support Material: The choice of support material can influence the dispersion and stability of nanoparticles. Reaction Conditions: Temperature, pressure, and the chemical environment can affect the structural stability of nanoparticles.
