Designing Sites in Heterogeneous Catalysis: Are We Reaching Selectivities Competitive With Those of Homogeneous Catalysts?

Francisco Zaera

Summary: This article provides a critical review of various prominent nanotechnologies used in catalysis, focusing on how they contribute to improving selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. The ways to modify catalytic sites include reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers, immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts, and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. These methodologies have advantages and limitations, but they offer new possibilities for catalyst design in specific applications.
