What are the Challenges in Developing Sintering Resistant Supports?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges in developing effective sintering resistant supports:
1. Material Compatibility: The support material must be compatible with the active catalyst and the reaction environment. 2. Cost: High-performance materials like certain oxides and carbon nanotubes can be expensive, which may limit their industrial application. 3. Scalability: The processes for producing these supports must be scalable for industrial applications. 4. Tailoring Properties: It is often challenging to tailor the physical and chemical properties of the support to meet the specific requirements of different catalytic processes.
