Device construction for tuning of the surface intermediate adsorbate binding energy can be interpreted via the electronic state of the catalyst material; surface intermediates such as adsorbed nitrogen, N*, correlate linearly with the d-band edge/center when compared across a broad range of metals . Temporal variation of metal dbands exists in at least two categories including electronic and physical (and even electromechanical) manipulation. Straining of surfaces has been shown to shift the d-band centers of metals, metal alloys, and other 2D materials , which alters the binding energy of adsorbates such as carbon monoxide . When combined with dynamic approaches such as sound waves or piezoelectrics capable of 1% strain oscillation exceeding kilohertz frequencies, this approach can potentially achieve the frequencies and amplitudes required for resonant dynamic catalytic acceleration. Other methods electronically manipulate a catalyst surface including field effect modulation or non-Faradaic electrochemical modification , both of which can potentially achieve the frequency and amplitude targets necessary for surface catalytic resonance. Future work will expand the principles developed here to more complex surface chemistries in parallel with implementation in physical catalytic reactors.
