How Can We Improve the Performance of Metal Oxide Catalysts?
Improving the performance of metal oxide catalysts can be achieved through various strategies:
1. Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into the metal oxide lattice can modify its electronic and structural properties, enhancing catalytic activity and stability. 2. Surface Modification: Techniques such as surface functionalization and the deposition of promoters or co-catalysts can improve the activity and selectivity of metal oxide catalysts. 3. Nanostructuring: Designing metal oxides at the nanoscale can increase the surface area and the number of active sites, thereby improving their catalytic performance.
