TL;DR: In this paper, active binding sites are designed to optimally balance the requirements of all steps in a catalytic transformation of molecules via heterogeneous materials to accelerate the catalytic process.

TL;DR: In this paper, thin conformal overcoats of SiO2, 2-5 nm by TEM, were synthesized on pre-existing Al2O3 supports by stepwise addition of tetraethyl orthosilicate under basic conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is universally acknowledged that faster catalysts enable the more efficient transformation of molecules to useful products and enhance the utilization of natural resources, and it is a truth universally acknowledged.

TL;DR: In this article, dynamic catalysts are defined as catalysts that change on the time scale of catalytic turnover frequency (TSF) to obtain transformational catalytic performance in rate and selectivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated the general reaction of reversible A-to-B chemistry by varying the catalytic (heat of reaction, transition state and intermediate energies) and oscillation parameters (frequency, amplitude, endpoints, and waveform) to evaluate the influence on the overall catalytic turnover frequency and steady state extent of conversion.
