What Types of Catalysts are Most Affected by Moisture?
Several types of catalysts are particularly susceptible to moisture sensitivity:
Zeolites: These microporous materials can absorb water, causing structural changes and reduced catalytic activity. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): MOFs can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to decomposition. Organometallic Catalysts: These catalysts often contain metal-ligand bonds that are prone to hydrolysis.
