The sol-gel process offers several advantages for the preparation of catalysts: - Controlled Porosity: The process allows for precise control over the porosity of the material, which is crucial for catalytic activity. - High Purity and Homogeneity: The materials produced are often highly pure and homogeneous, which can enhance catalytic performance. - Versatility: A wide range of materials, including oxides, carbides, and nitrides, can be synthesized using this method. - Low-Temperature Synthesis: The process can be conducted at relatively low temperatures compared to traditional methods, preserving the active phases of the catalyst.
