Optimizing the sample matrix involves careful selection and control of its components to achieve the best catalytic performance. This can be done through:
Screening of Solvents: Different solvents can be tested to determine their effects on the catalytic reaction. The optimal solvent should provide a good balance between solubility, reactivity, and stability. Use of Additives: Additives can be introduced to enhance the performance of the catalyst. It is important to understand the mechanism by which additives interact with the catalyst and reactants. Purification: Removing impurities from the reaction system can help in maintaining the activity and stability of the catalyst. This can be achieved through purification of raw materials or by using advanced separation techniques.
