Can Lattice Constants be Tailored for Better Catalytic Performance?
Yes, lattice constants can be engineered to enhance catalytic performance. This is often achieved through:
Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into the lattice can alter the lattice parameters and improve catalytic activity. Strain Engineering: Applying external stress or strain can change the lattice constants, thereby tuning the electronic and chemical properties. Alloying: Forming alloys with different metals can modify the lattice structure and enhance catalytic efficiency.
