What are the Challenges Associated with Enhanced Surface Area?
While enhancing the surface area of catalysts has numerous benefits, it also presents several challenges:
1. Sintering: At high temperatures, nanoparticles can grow, reducing the surface area. 2. Deactivation: High surface area materials can be more susceptible to poisoning and fouling. 3. Complex Synthesis: Creating materials with high surface area often involves complex and costly synthesis procedures.
