What Techniques are Used to Create Enhanced Surface Designs?
Several techniques are employed to create enhanced surface designs for catalysts:
1. Nanostructuring: This involves creating nanoscale features on the catalyst surface to increase surface area and active sites for reactions. 2. Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into the catalyst material can alter its electronic properties, improving catalytic activity and selectivity. 3. Surface Functionalization: Adding specific chemical groups to the catalyst surface can enhance its interaction with reactants. 4. Core-Shell Structures: These involve creating a core material surrounded by a catalytic shell, optimizing the surface properties while utilizing the beneficial properties of the core.
