Encapsulation offers several benefits in the field of catalysis:
Protection: Encapsulation can protect the catalytic material from harsh reaction conditions, preventing deactivation or degradation. Controlled Release: It allows for the controlled release of the active catalyst, ensuring sustained catalytic activity over time. Reusability: Encapsulated catalysts can be easily separated from the reaction mixture, enabling their reuse and reducing costs. Enhanced Selectivity: The encapsulating material can influence the selectivity of the catalytic reaction by providing a microenvironment that favors certain pathways.
