Tunability can be achieved through several approaches:
1. Material Design: By altering the composition and structure of the catalyst material, including the use of various metals, alloys, and supports, one can fine-tune its properties. 2. Surface Modification: Techniques like doping, functionalization, and coating can change the surface characteristics of catalysts, affecting their activity and selectivity. 3. Particle Size and Shape Control: The size and shape of catalyst particles can influence their surface area, active sites, and interaction with reactants. 4. Environmental Conditions: Adjusting reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and solvent can also play a significant role in tuning catalytic activity.
