Controlling the distribution of active species involves optimizing the synthesis and processing conditions of the catalyst. This can be achieved through:
1. Choice of Precursors: Selecting appropriate metal salts or organometallic compounds can influence the initial distribution. 2. Calcination and Reduction: Controlled heating and reduction processes can help achieve a more uniform distribution. 3. Surface Functionalization: Modifying the support surface with functional groups can enhance the dispersion of active species.
