Encapsulation provides several benefits, including:
- Enhanced Stability: Encapsulating catalysts can protect them from harsh chemical environments, reducing the rate of deactivation. - Improved Selectivity: By controlling the access of reactants to the active sites, encapsulation can enhance the selectivity of catalytic reactions. - Reusability: Encapsulated catalysts are often easier to recover and reuse, making the process more sustainable and cost-effective. - Controlled Release: Encapsulation can be designed to allow for the controlled release of active species, which is particularly useful in catalytic processes that require precise timing.
