Several factors influence the composition of a catalyst, including:
Active Sites: The nature and number of active sites directly impact the catalytic activity. Support Material: The choice of support material affects the dispersion of active sites and overall stability. Promoters and Inhibitors: Additives can enhance or suppress catalytic activity, affecting overall performance. Particle Size: Smaller particles generally offer higher surface area, enhancing activity. Temperature and Pressure: Operating conditions can influence the optimal composition.
