Why are High Quality Films Important in Catalysis?
High quality films are crucial in catalysis for several reasons:
- Enhanced Surface Area: The thin, uniform nature of these films provides a large surface area for catalytic reactions, increasing the reaction rate. - Improved Stability: High quality films often exhibit better thermal and chemical stability compared to bulk materials. - Controlled Reactivity: The ability to tailor the surface properties of these films allows for precise control over catalytic activity, selectivity, and durability.
