Can Surface Saturation be Controlled or Mitigated?
Yes, surface saturation can be controlled or mitigated through several strategies:
Adjusting reaction conditions such as temperature and pressure to optimize the rate of adsorption and desorption. Using promoters or co-catalysts that enhance the activity of the catalyst or increase the availability of active sites. Designing bifunctional catalysts that can facilitate multiple steps of the reaction mechanism, reducing the likelihood of saturation at any single step.
