Several techniques are employed in directed assembly for catalysis, including:
Self-assembly: Utilizing the inherent properties of molecules to form organized structures without external intervention. Template-assisted assembly: Using a template to guide the arrangement of molecules or nanoparticles into a desired structure. Electrostatic assembly: Leveraging electrostatic forces to direct the organization of charged species. Magnetic assembly: Employing magnetic fields to align and assemble magnetic nanoparticles. Capillary forces: Using capillary action to drive the assembly of particles at liquid interfaces.
