We have recently described an alternative concept for catalyst enhancement in the form of surface adsorbate binding oscillation . By this approach depicted in Figure , the catalyst surface undergoes periodic external stimulation (e.g. electric field, strain) such that reaction surface intermediates experience oscillating binding energy with time. The amplitude of the oscillating stimulus generates variation in surface species binding energy, with the endpoints of the oscillation amplitude dictated by the combination of the selected catalyst surface and the condition of the external stimulus. Stimulus waveforms can also vary in frequency, type (e.g. square, sinusoidal), and periodicity (e.g. combinations of waveforms). For the reversible A to B reaction, the highest catalytic turnover frequency occurs over a band of imposed frequencies which resonate with the natural frequencies of the catalytic surface reaction.
