Dynamic adjustment occurs through several mechanisms:
1. Surface Restructuring: The surface atoms of a catalyst can rearrange themselves to create new active sites or expose different facets that are more reactive under specific conditions. 2. Electronic Modulation: Changes in the electronic environment of the catalyst, such as charge transfer or changes in oxidation state, can alter the binding energy of reactants and intermediates. 3. Adsorbate-Induced Effects: Adsorbed species can induce changes in the catalyst's structure or electronic properties, thereby modifying its activity and selectivity.
