Yes, surface structure can be engineered to enhance catalytic performance. Techniques include:
1. Nanostructuring: Creating nanoparticles with specific shapes and facets can expose surfaces with desired structures. 2. Doping: Introducing foreign atoms can alter the surface structure and electronic properties, enhancing activity or selectivity. 3. Surface Treatments: Methods such as annealing, plasma treatment, or chemical etching can modify the surface structure.
