Which risk increases when titanium dioxide nanoparticles incompletely disperse during a catalyst synthesis?

💡 Explanation

Reduced dispersion lowers the catalyst's active surface area because Ostwald ripening decreases the available reactive sites at a given mass loading. Therefore, potential reactions are limited causing a decreased photodegradation rate, rather than alternative reactions, because fewer molecules interact overall.
