What Are Some Common Examples of Sintering in Catalysis?
Sintering is observed in various catalytic systems, especially those used in high-temperature reactions. For example, in [automotive catalytic converters](href), which operate at temperatures exceeding 800°C, sintering of platinum and palladium particles can lead to decreased efficiency in converting harmful emissions. Similarly, in [steam reforming](href) processes for hydrogen production, nickel catalysts are prone to sintering, leading to reduced activity and selectivity.
