What are the Key Factors Affecting Catalytic Activity?
Several factors influence catalytic activity, including:
Surface Area: Higher surface area generally provides more active sites for reaction. Active Sites: The nature and number of active sites on the catalyst surface are pivotal. Support Material: The material that supports the active component can affect its distribution and stability. Reaction Conditions: Temperature, pressure, and other reaction conditions can alter activity. Electronic Properties: The electronic configuration of the catalyst can influence its reactivity.
