What Role does Doping Play in Enhanced Surface Designs?
Doping involves incorporating small amounts of foreign atoms into the catalyst material. This can:
- Modify Electronic Properties: Doping can change the electronic structure of the catalyst, enhancing its reactivity. - Improve Stability: Certain dopants can increase the thermal and chemical stability of catalysts. - Enhance Selectivity: Doping can make the catalyst more selective towards desired reactions, reducing by-products.
