Several key parameters are evaluated when assessing the quality of a catalyst:
Activity: Measures the ability of a catalyst to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Selectivity: Indicates the ability to favor a particular reaction pathway over others. Stability: Assesses the durability and resistance to deactivation over time. Purity: Ensures that the catalyst is free from contaminants that could affect performance. Surface Area: Higher surface area often translates to better catalytic activity.
