Platinum doping in this configuration can also enhance the catalytic and chemical properties of the graphite system. By altering the adsorption energy of molecules at the platinum sites, the system's reactivity is optimized for applications such as energy storage and catalytic conversion. The strong interactions between platinum and the carbon atoms ensure stability under operational conditions, preventing catalyst degradation. Moreover, the dispersion of platinum at specific sites (C2, C6, and C8) suggests a degree of control in the material's functionalization, offering opportunities to tune its catalytic activity and selectivity for various applications .
