What are Common Methods in Structural Engineering for Catalysts?
Several techniques are employed to engineer the structure of catalysts, including:
1. Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into the catalyst to alter its electronic properties. 2. Nanostructuring: Designing catalysts at the nanoscale to maximize surface area and active sites. 3. Porous materials: Utilizing materials with high porosity to enhance mass transfer and accessibility of reactants to active sites. 4. Hybrid materials: Combining different materials to synergize their properties.
