There are several strategies to achieve fine tuning of catalysts:
Chemical Modification: Altering the chemical composition of the catalyst to introduce new active sites or improve existing ones. Support Material: Using different support materials can influence the dispersion and stability of the active phase. Promoters and Inhibitors: Adding promoters can enhance catalytic activity, while inhibitors can help in controlling selectivity. Nanostructuring: Designing catalysts at the nanoscale to maximize surface area and active site availability. Temperature and Pressure Optimization: Adjusting reaction conditions such as temperature and pressure to favor the desired reaction pathway.
