How Does Surface Characterization Affect Catalyst Design?
Surface characterization is integral to catalyst design and optimization. By understanding the surface properties, researchers can:
Enhance Catalytic Activity: Optimize the distribution and nature of active sites. Improve Selectivity: Control the surface properties to favor desired reactions. Increase Stability: Develop catalysts that are more resistant to deactivation. Develop New Catalysts: Create catalysts with novel properties based on detailed surface insights.
