Several factors can influence the formation, stability, and reactivity of adsorbed intermediates: - [Catalyst Surface](): The nature of the catalyst surface, including its composition, structure, and presence of defects, affects how intermediates form and behave. - [Reaction Conditions](): Temperature, pressure, and the presence of co-reactants or poisons can alter the characteristics of intermediates. - [Adsorption Energy](): The strength of interaction between the intermediate and the catalyst surface influences the intermediate's stability and reactivity.
