• temperature by 120 °C and 150 °C respectively, thereby increasing the decomposition heat. The greater catalytic effect of snowflake particles, despite the smaller BET surface area, is attributed to the surface defects developed during their liquid-phase reduction. Recent studies also emphasize that the
