What are the Challenges in Achieving Optimal Distribution?
Several challenges need to be addressed to achieve optimal distribution:
1. Agglomeration: Active metal particles tend to agglomerate, leading to uneven distribution and decreased active surface area. 2. Support Interaction: The interaction between the active species and the support material can lead to migration and sintering of active sites. 3. Scalability: Laboratory techniques that achieve good distribution may not always be scalable to industrial levels without loss of performance.
