Smoothing can lead to several benefits, including:
Enhanced Activity: A smoother surface can increase the number of exposed active sites, leading to higher catalytic activity. Improved Selectivity: By reducing surface defects, smoothing can help in achieving better selectivity towards desired products. Increased Stability: Smoother surfaces are less prone to sintering and deactivation, thus improving the catalyst's lifespan. Better Reproducibility: Uniform surfaces ensure more consistent performance in industrial applications.
