Microenvironment tuning can be achieved through various methods:
Surface Modification: Altering the surface properties of a catalyst by functionalizing it with different chemical groups. Encapsulation: Encasing the catalyst in a material that provides a specific microenvironment. Support Selection: Choosing appropriate support materials that influence the local conditions around the catalyst. Ionic Liquids: Using ionic liquids as reaction media to create a unique microenvironment.
