Exchange interactions can influence catalysis in several ways:
Electronic Structure: The electronic structure of a catalytic material determines its reactivity. Exchange interactions can modify this structure, affecting the binding energy of reactants and intermediates on the catalyst surface. Magnetic Properties: Catalysts with magnetic properties can exhibit different catalytic behaviors under magnetic fields due to exchange interactions. This can be utilized to enhance the selectivity and efficiency of catalytic reactions. Stability and Activity: Exchange interactions can stabilize certain electronic states of a catalyst, making it more active or stable under reaction conditions.
