Biocompatible coatings can enhance catalytic processes in several ways:
1. Stability: These coatings can stabilize catalytic nanoparticles, preventing aggregation and maintaining their activity over extended periods. 2. Selectivity: By modifying the surface properties, biocompatible coatings can improve the selectivity of catalysts towards specific reactions. 3. Biofunctionality: Coatings can introduce functional groups that interact favorably with biological molecules, enhancing the efficiency of bio-catalysis. 4. Protection: Biocompatible coatings can protect catalytic materials from deactivation due to harsh biological environments.
