Enhanced materials work by providing a more favorable environment for catalytic reactions. This can be achieved through:
- Increased Surface Area: More active sites are available for the reaction, which can increase the rate of the reaction. - Active Site Modification: Tailoring the chemical properties of the active sites to improve selectivity and reduce undesired side reactions. - Stability Improvements: Enhancing the structural integrity of the catalyst to withstand harsh reaction conditions over prolonged periods.
