How Do Geometrical Factors Influence Catalyst Design?
Catalyst design often involves tailoring the geometry at the atomic and molecular levels to achieve desired catalytic properties. This can include manipulating the crystal facets of a solid catalyst to expose more reactive sites or doping the catalyst with other elements to modify its electronic and geometric structure. Advanced techniques like atomic layer deposition (ALD) allow precise control over these parameters, enabling the design of highly efficient and selective catalysts.
