These values were notably greater than those obtained with catalysts prepared through calcination or chemical reduction. Compared with the calcination method, cold plasma treatment results in smaller particle sizes (4.12 nm) because of the low temperature of the plasma, which increases the number of active sites. Additionally, high-energy electron bombardment within the plasma field strengthens the interaction between Ni and the Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> support.
