What Factors Influence the Interfacial Properties?
Multiple factors can influence the properties of the interface in catalysis:
Surface area: A higher surface area provides more active sites for the reaction. Active sites: The availability and nature of active sites can affect the reaction rate and selectivity. Adsorption: The manner in which reactants adsorb onto the catalyst surface can impact the reaction mechanism. Electronic properties: The electronic structure of the catalyst can influence the binding energies of the reactants and intermediates. Temperature and pressure: These conditions can alter the interfacial interactions and reaction kinetics.
