How Does Molecular Cloning Contribute to Heterogeneous Catalysis?
In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants, often solid catalysts interacting with liquid or gas reactants. Molecular cloning techniques can be used to create well-defined catalyst structures at the atomic level. For example, cloning can help produce uniform nanoparticles or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that serve as highly efficient and selective catalysts.
