The effect of fractal dimension of zirconium dioxide on its catalytic properties in the oxidation of CO has been studied. The interconnection between the pre-exponential factor of the reaction rate constant and the fractal dimension of the catalyst has been established. It has been shown that the pre-exponential factor decreases with an increase in the mass fractal dimension.
