How Can the Performance of Metal Nanoparticles be Enhanced?
To enhance the performance of metal nanoparticles in catalysis, researchers have developed several strategies, including:
Support Materials: Using support materials like carbon, silica, or alumina can prevent aggregation and improve stability. Bimetallic Nanoparticles: Combining two different metals can create synergistic effects, enhancing catalytic activity and selectivity. Surface Modification: Functionalizing the surface of nanoparticles with ligands or other molecules can improve their stability and reactivity.
