What Factors Influence the Fabrication of Catalysts?
Several factors play a significant role in the fabrication process:
- Material Selection: The choice of support material and active components is critical. Common supports include silica, alumina, and carbon. - Particle Size: Smaller particles generally have higher surface areas, which can enhance catalytic activity. - Pore Structure: The porosity and pore size distribution affect the accessibility of active sites. - Synthesis Conditions: Temperature, pH, and concentration of reactants can significantly impact the properties of the fabricated catalyst.
