Ensemble methods work by creating a collaborative environment where different catalysts or catalytic sites function together. This can be achieved through various approaches:
Bimetallic Catalysts: Combining two different metals to create a catalyst that benefits from the properties of both, leading to enhanced activity and selectivity. Core-Shell Structures: Utilizing a core material surrounded by a shell of another material to achieve synergistic effects. Support Materials: Using support materials that provide a platform for dispersing active catalytic species, facilitating better interaction and stability.
