Optimizing metal sites involves several strategies:
1. Tuning the electronic properties: Altering the oxidation state or introducing ligands can modify the electronic characteristics of metal sites. 2. Controlled synthesis: Techniques like atomic layer deposition (ALD) and colloidal synthesis can control the size and dispersion of metal sites. 3. Support modification: Functionalizing the support material to enhance the interaction between the metal site and the reactants. 4. Doping: Introducing other elements to modify the electronic properties and stability of metal sites.
