Kinetics and diffusional limitations in nanostructured heterogeneous catalyst with controlled pore texture

►Classical carbon supports can be replaced by nanostructured synthetic carbons. ►Goal: to improve mass transfer in heterogeneous catalysis. ►Neglecting mass transport limitations is not straightforward! ►Example: oxidation reaction in liquid media on Pd-Bi/carbon xerogel catalyst. ►Highlight of mass transfer limitation via Weisz modulus calculation.
