How Can Structural Complexity Be Optimized for Better Catalysis?
Optimization involves:
Tailoring Pore Size: By controlling the synthesis conditions, the pore size and shape can be tailored to specific reactions. Surface Modification: Functionalizing the surface with different groups can enhance reactivity and selectivity. Nanostructuring: Producing catalysts with nanoscale features can increase the number of active sites and improve overall efficiency. Stability Enhancements: Incorporating stabilizing agents or supports can prolong the catalyst's life under reaction conditions.
