What Does SMSI Stand For?
SMSI stands for Strong Metal Support Interaction
SMSI, or Strong Metal Support Interaction, refers to the significant interactions that occur between metal particles and the supporting material in heterogeneous catalysis. This concept emphasizes the role of the support in stabilizing metal catalysts, enhancing their activity and selectivity by facilitating electronic and geometric effects. SMSI plays a crucial role in optimizing catalyst performance and durability in various chemical reactions, making it a vital consideration in materials science and industrial applications.
