What Challenges Exist in Using Microporous Catalysts?
While microporous catalysts offer many advantages, they also come with challenges:
- Diffusion Limitations: The small pore size can hinder the diffusion of larger molecules, leading to decreased catalytic efficiency. - Deactivation: Microporous catalysts can suffer from fouling or poisoning, where the active sites are blocked by impurities. - Synthesis and Stability: Creating microporous materials with specific properties can be challenging, and they may not always be stable under reaction conditions.
