Several factors can influence the storage modulus of catalysts:
Temperature: As temperature increases, materials often become less stiff, resulting in a lower G'. Conversely, lower temperatures can increase G'. Composition: The chemical composition of the catalyst can affect its mechanical properties. For instance, the presence of certain additives or binders can enhance G'. Porosity: High porosity can reduce the storage modulus because the material has less solid content to bear the load. Synthesis Method: The method used to synthesize the catalyst can impact its microstructure and, consequently, its G'.
