PECVD is crucial in the field of catalysis for several reasons:
Surface Modification: PECVD can be used to modify the surface properties of catalysts, such as hydrophobicity, surface area, and active sites, which are vital for catalytic performance. Uniformity: This technique ensures uniform deposition of thin films even on complex geometries, which is essential for creating consistent catalytic surfaces. Low Temperature: The process operates at lower temperatures, preserving the structural integrity of temperature-sensitive materials.
