Several factors can influence the performance of active sites, including:
1. Geometric Structure: The arrangement of atoms and the overall structure of the active site play a crucial role. 2. Electronic Properties: The distribution of electrons around the active site affects its ability to interact with reactants. 3. Surface Area: Higher surface area generally means more active sites and increased catalytic activity. 4. Support Material: The choice of support material can enhance the stability and dispersion of active sites.
