Several techniques are utilized in surface engineering, including:
- Nanostructuring: Creating nanoparticles or nanostructures to increase the surface area and expose more active sites. - Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into the catalyst surface to modify its electronic properties. - Surface Functionalization: Adding specific functional groups to the surface to enhance particular interactions with reactants. - Etching: Removing parts of the surface to create desired patterns or increase surface roughness. - Coating: Applying a thin layer of another material to protect or modify the surface properties.
