How Do Lattice Parameters Affect Selectivity in Catalysis?
Selectivity in catalysis is the ability of a catalyst to direct a reaction to yield a specific product. The lattice parameters can influence the selectivity by determining the size and shape of the active sites, as well as the adsorption and desorption energies of reactants and products. By fine-tuning the lattice parameters, it is possible to enhance the selectivity of a catalyst for a desired reaction pathway.
