Several factors can influence the thermal shock resistance of a catalyst:
Material Composition: The intrinsic properties of the materials used in the catalyst, such as their thermal expansion coefficients and thermal conductivity, play a crucial role. Microstructure: The grain size, porosity, and phase distribution within the catalyst can significantly impact its ability to withstand thermal shock. Coatings and Additives: Applying protective coatings or incorporating specific additives can enhance the thermal shock resistance of catalysts.
