Controlling surface reconstruction is a significant challenge but offers the potential for optimizing catalytic performance. Strategies for controlling surface reconstruction include:
1. Surface Modification: Introducing dopants or additives to the catalyst can stabilize specific surface structures. 2. Environmental Control: Precisely controlling the reaction environment (temperature, pressure, gas composition) can help maintain a desired surface structure. 3. Nanostructuring: Creating catalysts with specific nanoscale features can influence surface reconstruction behaviors.
