Various techniques and approaches can be used to achieve reinforcement in catalysis:
Support Materials: Using robust and inert support materials like alumina, silica, or carbon can enhance the stability and dispersion of active catalytic sites. Doping: Introducing small amounts of other elements (dopants) can modify the electronic properties of the catalyst, leading to improved performance. Nanostructuring: Creating catalysts with nanostructured features can increase surface area and enhance catalytic activity. Encapsulation: Encapsulating the catalyst in a protective shell can prevent deactivation by poisons or thermal degradation. Surface Modification: Techniques like coating or grafting specific molecules onto the catalyst surface can improve its resistance to deactivation.
