How Can Surface Structure be Modified to Enhance Catalytic Performance?
Several strategies can be employed to modify the surface structure and enhance catalytic performance:
Doping: Introducing foreign atoms to create new active sites or modify electronic properties. Nanostructuring: Designing catalysts with nanoscale features to increase surface area and active site density. Surface Functionalization: Adding specific functional groups to improve selectivity and activity. Thermal Treatment: Using controlled heating to create or remove surface defects.
