Specificity can be enhanced through several approaches:
1. Structural Design of Catalysts: Modifying the shape and size of the catalyst's active site to better fit the desired reactant. 2. Surface Modifications: Altering the surface properties of catalysts to provide a more conducive environment for the desired reaction. 3. Use of Co-catalysts: Employing additional substances that work alongside the primary catalyst to improve selectivity. 4. Reaction Conditions: Adjusting the temperature, pressure, and solvent to favor the desired reaction pathway.
