What Are the Key Parameters in Catalyst Synthesis?
Several parameters need to be carefully controlled during catalyst synthesis to ensure optimal performance:
Precursor concentration: The concentration of the active component precursors can significantly influence the final catalyst composition. pH: The pH of the solution can affect the precipitation and deposition processes. Temperature: Synthesis temperature influences the crystallinity and phase of the catalyst material. Aging time: The duration for which the catalyst is aged before drying or calcination can impact the final properties. Calcination conditions: The temperature and duration of calcination affect the removal of residual solvents and the formation of active sites.
