What are Some Applications of Interface Engineering in Catalysis?
Interface engineering involves the deliberate modification of interfacial properties to enhance the performance of catalysts. Some applications include:
Heterogeneous catalysis: Improving the dispersion of active sites and optimizing the support material to enhance catalytic activity and stability. Electrocatalysis: Modifying the surface properties of electrode materials to improve the efficiency of reactions such as water splitting and fuel cell reactions. Photocatalysis: Tailoring the interface to enhance light absorption and charge separation efficiency for applications in solar energy conversion.
