Site Property Control in Powders and Pellets Via Synthesis Strategies
....
....
Non Classical Synthesis:- Produce new or metastable catalyst precursors [hydrotreating]- Structure directing methods, epitaxy control
Modifying Site Functionality: - Acid site strength and density, promoters, multifunction systems
Morphology and Distribution: - Site placement in specific environments--pellets or powders - Metals, compounds, promoters
