Achieving higher catalytic activity can be approached in several ways:
- Optimizing Catalyst Composition: By carefully selecting and combining different materials, one can create catalysts with superior activity. For example, alloying metals can create more active catalysts. - Nanostructuring: Creating catalysts at the nanoscale can significantly increase their surface area and, consequently, their activity. - Doping: Adding small amounts of other elements can enhance the electronic properties of the catalyst, leading to higher activity. - Support Materials: Using suitable support materials can increase the dispersion of the catalyst, providing more active sites.
