Optimizing electrolyte composition involves a systematic approach to balance various factors such as ionic strength, pH, and ion type to achieve the desired catalytic performance. This can be done through:
Experimental screening: Testing different electrolyte compositions experimentally to identify the optimal conditions. Theoretical modeling: Using computational methods to predict the effects of different electrolyte compositions on catalytic activity and stability. In-situ characterization: Monitoring the electrolyte and catalyst interface during the reaction to understand the dynamics and make necessary adjustments.
