TL;DR
This paper explores how dynamic and resonant catalysts can overcome traditional catalysis limits by using external stimuli to control reactions more efficiently.
Contribution
The paper introduces the novel concept of 'stimulando' characterization to study transient catalytic dynamics and proposes strategies to advance the field.
Findings
Dynamic and resonant catalysts can surpass traditional kinetic and thermodynamic limits in catalysis.
External stimuli like light and electric charge can alter catalyst surfaces and improve reaction control.
New characterization and modeling approaches are needed to fully realize the potential of dynamic catalysis.
Abstract
Traditional heterogeneous catalysis is constrained by kinetic and thermodynamic limits, such as the Sabatier principle and reaction equilibrium. Dynamic and resonant catalysts hold promise to overcome these limitations by actively oscillating a catalyst’s physical or electronic structure at the time scale of the catalytic cycle, allowing programmable control over reaction pathways, and leading to improved rate and selectivity. External stimuli such as temperature swing, mechanical strain, electric charge, and light can perturb catalyst surfaces in different ways, altering adsorbate coverage, binding energies, and transition states beyond what steady-state catalysis allows. This work surveys the current state of dynamic catalysis, introduces the concept of “stimulando” characterization for observing transient dynamics, and outlines key modeling, mechanistic, and benchmarking strategies…
